    What do you people use to monitor your VPS CPU/MEM usage and different parts of the system logs to make sure VPS is running smoothly ?

    4814fc2d-9143-4b61-9d6a-d95aba59eaf1-image.png

    This is a docker-ctop view running inside Byobu session where I have terminal tabs open with Nginx error/access log, iptables log, ampache log, box log

    ps: by the way anyone else running ctop and cloudron ?
    for some reason I can't see the logs from each container using ctop and I was wondering about the cause of this, is it related to the cloudron-docker environement ?

    about ctop : https://www.tecmint.com/ctop-monitor-docker-containers/

      @imc67 the point of Ctop is precisely that, once it runs, left arrow to inspect a container log (in the context of cloudron that does not work, while it does work on my local computer just fine in a typical docker environnement) right arrow let's you see MEM/CPU usage from that specific container (that work even on cloudron context) hit Enter and you're back to the main screen view with all the containers, it's really neat little application I just wish the log view would work in the cloudron context πŸ™‚

          @robi Yes that's not docker-ctop, you need to add this repo : https://packages.azlux.fr/
          and then you'll have the same

                  @girish I mean, users don't typically crash for about 69 years on average so thats already better than any monitoring app. Unless theres an unexpected hardware failure due to poor maintenance of course.

                      @robi Thanks, will take a look. We have so many monitors and alerts it boggles the mind, hence we packaged Prometheus & AlertManager for Cloudron and have more dev-ops stuff coming your way πŸ™‚
