I have Grafana and Influxdb setup but it is fairly complex for what I am doing. I don’t want to spend a bunch of time creating dashboards and thinking about the movement of data. I am looking for something simple.
I am looking to mostly monitor uptime and Ansible automations.
What about switching to Prometheus for metrics and snagging some premade dashboards in Grafana? Since it’s pull-based, up is a freebie, especially if you expose the node_exporter via your reverse proxy.

Very understandable and valid. I find that Prometheus’ query language makes a lot of sense to me, so, I like it. Have you tried Cacti or Nagios?
