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.
I'm running a tick stack with a couple of thousands of servers - way less CPU usage than checkmk/nagios or anything else from the previous millennium ...
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.
Have you had runaway memory problems with influx, or your apps?
Specifically with Influx.
