As in, when I watched YouTube tutorials, I often see YouTubers have a small widget on their desktop giving them an overview of their ram usage, security level, etc. What apps do you all use to track this?

    I second CMK.

    A TICK stack is unwieldy, Grafana takes a lot of setup, and all of this assumes you both know what to monitor and get stats on it.

    CMK by contrast is plug and play. Install the server on a VM or host, install thr agent on your other systems, and you’re good to go.

        How do you solve the problem of runaway memory usage? Even monitoring a few dozen hosts, memory usage would grow to many GB and continue to grow indefinitely until it OOM’d, and from my reading Influx has no way to prevent this.
