ServiceRadar is an open-source platform for distributed, secure network management and observability, scaling to 100k+ devices. Born from frustration with complex traditional NMS tools like Zabbix, it bridges legacy (SNMP/syslog) and modern (gNMI, OTLP) protocols for cloud-native environments. We built ServiceRadar to simplify monitoring hybrid telecom networks, evolving it into a Kubernetes-native solution with Helm and Docker support. It uses mTLS with SPIFFE/SPIRE, NATS JetStream for event streaming (90M+ EPS), and SRQL for intuitive queries. Integrated with OpenTelemetry,…

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 -…

Hey HN, I made a Windows process monitor for app developers and advanced end users. I wanted a taskmgr system-level graph view per app. Windows procmon, while capable, has always been tedious to set up (esp. if not used often). That's pretty much the whole idea behind the app--to simplify app-level monitoring, to make it easy. I hope some of you find it useful!

Hey hn! I'm one of the co-founders of highlight.io, an open source monitoring tool. Today we're sharing a ClickHouse-based logging solution we've been working on. We wanted to showcase how we built it and share how you could try it out to give feedback. Since we started working on highlight.io, we've been hyper-focused on "cohesion", or ensuring that when you install your monitoring stack, all of the resources in that stack (user interactions, requests, traces, logs, etc.) are connected in a consumable way. We've written up more about our philosophy on this here [1]. We started building…

Hi HN, Shawn here. My rooftop system lost about half a year of production and nobody told me. Not the installer, not the monitoring app, not the utility. I found out from an electric bill that made no sense, then spent weeks digging through the monitoring portal by hand. SunRanker is what I wished existed that day. Connect a system once (Enphase OAuth, or a SolarEdge site ID plus API key) and it reads production daily, shows it in plain language, and emails you when something actually changes. Three alerts only. The connection broke, the monitoring went quiet, or output has been well below…

Frustrated by the complexity and resource drain of multi service monitoring stacks, I built Simon. I wanted a single, lightweight dashboard to replace the heavy stack and the constant need for an SSH client for routine tasks. The result is a resource efficient dashboard in a single Rust binary, just a couple of megabytes in size. Its support for various architectures on Linux also makes it ideal for embedded systems and lightweight SBCs. It integrates: Comprehensive Monitoring: Realtime and historical metrics for the host system and Docker containers (CPU, memory, disk usage, and network…

Hi HN we are Andrew and Dex. We built dialtone watcher, a small Go agent for macOS and Linux with a very specific goal: tell me what my machine is doing all day and help me compare that with others. What it does so far: - Watches running processes, CPU and memory use, and active network endpoints. - Groups traffic into human sized summaries by process, domain, and coarse protocol like HTTPS, DNS, QUIC, and Postgres. - Stores a local summary and can post bounded rollups to the dialtoneapp.com api so enough installs can turn the fleet view into something real. We kept circling the same…
