    I did some searching and found some old posts about doing system monitoring with NetData and NixStats. I am playing around with NixStats but their website is so slow. I'm not sure if they are having high usage, DDOS attack or it's always slow.... or perhaps something on my end. But Just browsing around is slow on their site, and in the Dashboard for my account it's even worse.

    Wanted to see what everyone is using to monitor their servers? Their pricing for 10 servers for $10/month isn't bad... most of the other tools I've found are even more expensive.


    What is everyone using or recommending for system monitoring?

    Just got it going. This is really impressive, especially for free! Thank you for the heads up. I used them in the past for uptime monitoring but completely forgot about them for the server monitoring. Many thanks!

    I use NewRelic for server and PHP application monitoring. (Check out my thread about tuning WP and XF with it here from a few years ago.)

    I also use UptimeRobot for real-time status monitoring. I use the base plan with "keyword monitoring". If expected words are not detected at specific URLs of my site, it's down and calls me. I have added UptimeRobot's number to my phone's favorites list, so it will bypass my phone's Do Not Distrub setting to wake me up in the night if the site is down.
