Best monitoring with heartbeat and raid info ?

Hello

We've been using Hetrixtools to do basic monitoring for some servers and infra. it even provides some Raid monitor feature.

We're looking to get something better if you have anything to advise ?

We only rely on heartbeat monitors.

"CPU Abuse": Understanding & follow-ups

Hi,
I've just been hit by a "CPU Abuse" warning... And I would love to understand what happened to prepare everything into avoiding that message ever!

One of my box (KVM, 2 cores, if it matters), basically idling for nearly 2 years (1 simple instance of Syncthing + no-traffic websites), monitored with the HetrixTools agent (The Best!) has just been stopped because "constantly consuming 100-200% ( fully utilized 1-2 cores )".
1> Graphs from HT show nothing,
2> my personal checkup shows nothing either: ufw & failban clean, nothing in any log...

While I can find my way around, I'm not any kind of expert with linux: Debian 10 for that one. And I would appreciate any kind of lead, track, where-to-look stuff

Thanks for any light!

Self-hosted distributed uptime/website monitoring with coordinated notifications

I'm trying to make good use of some NAT VPS I have. I would like to deploy an uptime monitor system that handles the various locations in an intelligent way, like Hetrixtools does.

In a gist: criteria like notify me if 3 locations see the target as offline.

I am aware of smokeping, and to be fair it handles the primary/secondary nodes pretty well but, to my knowledge, you get an e-mail every time a location sees the target as down.

What do you use to see traffic transfer rates ?

Think iftop looks good as a companion to htop.
