Products that do what Kula – Lightweight, self-contained Linux server monitoring tool does

Zero dependencies. No external databases. Single binary. Just deploy and go. I needed something that would allow for real-time monitoring, and installation is as simple as dropping a single file and running it. That's exactly what Kula is. Kula is the Polish word for "ball," as in "crystal ball." The project is in constant development, but I'm already using it on multiple servers in production. It still has some rough edges and needs to mature, but I wanted to share it with the world now—perhaps someone else will find it useful and be willing to help me develop it by testing or providing…

    A few months ago I took out my side project - an uptime & SSL monitoring service - from the drawer. I've decided to give it a new life and completely overhauled it, added a lot of new feature, and most importantly, a UI. Highlights - configurable uptime & SSL monitoring - Telegram, Slack, PagerDuty & E-mail notifications (more to come!) - fully-fledged REST API - a responsive, modern & fast UI - monitors are optionally configurable via a single YAML file, or you can choose to use either the UI or the API to maintain them - Cloud-native, distributed as amd64 and arm64 images - Only one…

    Hi Everyone! Kubetail is a general-purpose logging dashboard for Kubernetes, optimized for tailing logs across multi-container workloads in real-time. With Kubetail, you can view logs from all the containers in a workload (e.g. Deployment or DaemonSet) merged into a single chronological timeline, delivered to your browser or terminal. I launched Kubetail on HN last year and at that time the top request was to add search. Now I'm happy to say we finally have search available in our latest official release (cli/v0.4.3, helm/v0.10.1). You can check it out in action here:…

    hey guys. the other day i was migrating hosting providers and i just needed something not too heavy and convenient to spin up my backups for awhile and realised there is almost nothing out there. kimchi hasn't been updated for years and cockpit is heavy. so here's something i came up with in a couple hours because of a sudden urge, nothing fancy just basic creation with cloud init, lifecycle management and image/storage, but it's modern-ish and it compiles to a 8.4mb binary inclusive of the embedded web UI, CLI and API, and only dep is libvirt.

    dish is a lightweight, 0 dependency monitoring tool in the form of a small binary executable. Upon execution, it checks the provided sockets (which can be provided in a JSON file or served by a remote JSON API endpoint). The results of the check are then reported to the configured channels. It started as a learning project and ended up proving quite handy. Me and my friend have been using it to monitor our services for the last 3 years. We have refactored the codebase to be a bit more presentable recently and thought we'd share on here! The currently supported channels include: - Telegram -…

    Hi HN! We’re Yann, Edouard, and Bastien from Koyeb (https://www.koyeb.com/). We’re building a platform to let you deploy full-stack apps on high-performance hardware around the world, with zero configuration. We provide a “global serverless feeling”, without the hassle of re-writing all your apps or managing k8s complexity [1]. We built Scaleway, a cloud service provider where we designed ARM servers and provided them as cloud servers. During our time there, we saw customers struggle with the same issues while trying to deploy full-stack applications and APIs resiliently. As…

    Hi Everyone! Kubetail is a new project I've been working on. It's a private, real-time log viewer for Kubernetes clusters. You deploy it inside your cluster and access it via a web browser, like the Kubernetes Dashboard. Using kubetail, you can view logs in real-time from multiple Workload containers simultaneously. For example, you can view all the logs from the Pod containers running in a Deployment and the UI will update automatically as the pods come into and out of existence. Kubetail uses your in-cluster Kubernetes API so your logs are always in your possession and it's private by…

    Hey HN! Anibal, Sean, Vlad, Maxi and Karim here we're the co-founders of Kerno (https://www.kerno.io/). We're building a zero-hassle tool to help developers monitor and troubleshoot their services in a way that makes sense. No complex rollouts, no custom infra, no tons of instrumentation, no sidecars… none of that! Just a minimum effort, out-of-the box, highly contextualized and interactive experience so you and your team can focus on shipping! We basically scan your cluster resources, build usable abstractions on top of all the kubernetes craziness, identify monitor your…
