Please recommend me a simple monitoring service for my app and VPS (alien.top)

I’m deploying my NodeJS app + Postgres + Redis in an Ubuntu VPS. Postgres + Redis is running in Docker, whole app is behind an Nginx proxy.

Currently, to monitor, I use a mix of htop (to check server health), docker stats, tail nginx log.

Please recommend me a better way to monitor this (pulling all log & metrics into 1 source and show dashboard like Grafana or something). I just want simple stats like nginx log, CPU &RAM load… Fancier metrics like Redis cache hit/miss rate, slow queries in Postgres is a bonus too.

Asked in self-host because most cloud options have those dashboard & log already.

sentry.io can be selfhosted for app monitoring.

Netdata is a 'set-and-forget' server monitoring solution. If you want something more tailored, go the prometheus+grafana route.

You can also have your app emit prometheus metrics as well.
