lemann,

I used to pass all the data through to Home Assistant and show it on some dashboards, but I decided to move over to Zabbix.

Works well but is quite full-featured, maybe moreso than necessary for a self hoster. Made a mediatype integration for my announciator system so I hear issues happening with the servers, as well as updates on things, so I don’t really need to check manually. Also a custom SMART template that populates the disk’s physical location/bay (as the built in one only reports SMART data).

It’s notified me of a few hardware issues that would have gone unnoticed on my previous system, and helped with diagnosing others. A lot of the sensors may seem useless, but trust me, once they flag up you should 100% check on your hardware. Hard drives losing power during high activity because of loose connections, and a CPU fan failure to name two.

It has a really high learning curve though so not sure how much I can recommend it over something like Grafana+Prometheus - something I haven’t used but the combo looks equally as comprehensive as long as you check your dashboard regularly.

Just wish there were more android apps
