Easy metrics dashboard for multiple systems? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm looking for a simply solution to monitor all my servers and systems using a single dashboard. I want to see metrics like CPU usage, used RAM and storage to see if something is wrong.
I just set up Node-Exporter, Prometheus and Grafana but haven't found an existing dashboard that shows multiple hosts at once. Now I looked into Checkmk and Zabbix but I feel like both are a little overpowered for what I'm looking for. Do you have any recommendations?

PRTG maybe? It's free for 100 sensors.

But it's proprietary, unfortunately.

Cockpit is a dashboard (and control!) app that can connect to multiple hosts.

Thanks, looks promising. I'll give it a try.

Question: why don't you crate your own Grafana dashboard? Do you have too many servers?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago

I don't want to configure a whole Dashboard for at least CPU, RAM, Storage and Network for up to 5 hosts.

Using the same setup, only have one host, but I remember there were some dashboards for multiple hosts, keep looking^^

I used the following dashboard now, but it's not really satisfying and also doesn't really fit more than 4 nodes. https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/11756-hpc-node-exporter-server-metrics-v2/
