Hi all. I just set-up my first self-hosting server with NextCloud, Immich and a VPN server. I was wondering if there is a tool or layer of tools which would help me monitor my server and the services including running stats, resource usage stats, system logs, access logs, etc?

I read that Grafana Loki along with Prometheus could possibly help me with this. I just wanted to ask that - should I explore these two tools or do we have some other and better(suiting to my needs) tools? Please recommend Open Source tools only. Preferably Docker, or Linux based otherwise. Thank you :))

    I’ve not found a good solution for actual constant monitoring and I’ll be following this thread, but I have a similar/related item: I use healthcheck.io (specifically a self-hosted instance) to verify all my cron jobs (backups, syncs, …) are working correctly. Often even more involved monitoring solutions do not cover that area (and it can be quite terrible if it goes wrong), so I think it’ll be a good addition to most of these.
