Gonitor

Gonitor is a dead-simple monitoring service, designed to replace legacy systems like Nagios. It provides a lightweight, efficient, and straightforward way to monitor your systems and ensure everything is running as expected.

Why Gonitor?

Traditional monitoring tools like Nagios can be overly complex and bloated for many use cases. Gonitor simplifies monitoring, providing an easy-to-use solution that focuses on reliability and essential functionality. It’s ideal for small to medium-sized setups where simplicity and efficiency are paramount.

Key Features:

• Minimal configuration: Get up and running quickly without the hassle of complex setup.
• Extensible: Use Postgres as the default database, or configure it with alternatives if needed.
• Real-time notifications: Integrates seamlessly with Pusher or alternatives like ipê for real-time updates.
