Ask HN: Server Monitor for LEMP Stack
7 comments
Personally and professionally, I have had a great experience with Datadog (https://www.datadoghq.com/) - plenty of integrations with various services, providers and a useable interface.
Prior to DD, I used ServerDensity (https://www.serverdensity.com/) - also a very mature tool and the technical blog written by their founder (https://blog.serverdensity.com/) has interesting tidbits from time to time.
I'm sure someone else will mention New Relic, too - great tool, but more expensive than the other two (though well worth it, if you need it)

I generally use http://www.zabbix.com. It comes shipped with basic OS tracking but you can also add custom scripts for monitoring almost anything.
Ideally, I wouldn't have to write any custom scripts since PHP and nginx are fairly well known
Hi, what is the platform you are running your stack on? I'm running mine on Linux Arch and most of the stuff you mention is being monitored by my VPS provider.
I generally use Digital Ocean, with Ubuntu
Ideally I would be able to monitor web requests, cpu, network traffic along with php and mysql performance/resources
