Zabbix is better
I have been nagioss admin for 2 yrs now. But I'm really tired of the monitoring stuff. Is worth sticking around in ? As I have been thinking of going in some other track.
If I learned anything from commander Adama, it's never network your computers.
Okay, great concept. But what does it do better than the competition (e.g. Zabbix) to justify that cost? And why can't this thing run on a Raspberry Pi?
Yow chuck,you know what I love about you?
You always come with different style, really love you man❤
Zabbix is open source and monitors ANYTHING.
Zabbix is definitely the way to go and is amazing
And not limited to 10 devices.
Zabbix gang here
open source >>> whatever proprietary thing Chuck shows off here
@@Jacques_CENTUE zabbixers of the world UNITE
"I'm not sure if that looks cooler" - the relatable struggle of trying to make technical explanations visually appealing. Also, I'm loving the coffee breaks and geeking out over IT monitoring solutions. Who knew IT stress could be so entertaining?
This guy has the best video presence on all of CZcams. A+
Cleo Abrams? Cash Jordan? MrWhoseTheBoss?
he turned to clickbait*
Oh my goodness. I was using What's Up Gold back in 2000! Wow, this brought back so many memories!
Zabbix!!!!!! I love it, it is Open Source, Free, Linux Based and you can purchase support. Run it at home, run it at work. Super easy to setup, took me 10 minutes from a stock Debian install to a Zabbix monitoring system, and there are a TON of template files provided by Zabbix and the community.
Chuck is single-handedly sharing half the tech we use
Studying for Net+ right now and as soon as I learned about SNMP I wanted to monitor stuff. Good timing this video.
Wow, it's been years, so many many years, and I finally found someone else who understands the greatness of nano.
I know it's stupid, but every time I look up how to do some random thing on linux that I either don't know or have forgotten and the instructions; instead of saying to use a text editor, specifically tell me to install and use Vi I get legit upset for a few seconds.
This video would be great for anyone learning SNMP for the network+. It would have helped me out a lot when I was learning of the OIDs, verbose and granular traps as well as the MIBs. Very helpful info to know.
I love SNMP. I used to write custom MIBs and display them on graphs. So much fun.
I love your constant enthusiasm 🤗
the Windows server requirement killed it for me
Same.. I hardly even use regular Windows anymore!
Was about to try it out on my Linux server before I found this out. DOA for me.
Oh it was t running on Linux?!? Then its a shit system
@@BurkenProductions People say it existed for a very very long time, so I guess it's from an era where Windows Server was still a thing, especially in the Enterprise world.
Nowadays we don't have to pay prohibitively expensive fees per CPU or something else idiotic - just to run bloatware on our hardware. :P
@@GrumpyDergyou can get all windows products free lol.. mas grave
I've been using Observium since you did the video like 2 years ago...
Monitoring all my Ubiquiti switches and AP's and devices, my server hardware, iLo/iDrac/IPMI, Windows Servers (2019/2022), vCenter, ESXi, Ubuntu hosts, Truenas, Printers, etc... My home network is now completely monitored and I can see all my port info, network packets, CPU/RAM/Disk, etc..
Do you have the link to that video by any chance?
perfect timing. i made my own monitoring system yesterday
It was meant to be!
I am in Networking, that Guy loves what he does and in my opinion this video this is his best video!
can we just all admit the editing style of your videos are awesome. Hats off to the editor if that's you lol or not either way very entertaining content.
Austin is a beast
Back in school for my end project I made a PRTG server for monitoring and it certainly was a game changer to have such monitoring. One night I thought I'd just quickly do something for my endwork, I check the PRTG server and instantly could see that 1 of our servers was messed up big time. (Had an absolutely clueless teammate). He ended up getting 3 folders on a server with an infinite loop of more folders within them. Inspecting element 1 folder could say it contains like 1234 folders and 426 files, then checking 1 folder deeper it could say 7325 folders and 9423 files. Folder names were too big to be deleted and it fully filled the harddrive to the very last bit. Not only that, it escaped the VM and filled the entire physical machines storage. The same machine where my classmates and another class also had their endwork VM's on so it was a big issue that I spent 2 hours that night at midnight together with a teacher to fix. Spotting this issue early on and getting it fixed before anybody else suffered from it was 100% because of monitoring.
That thumbnail is GOLD
This is our favourite video yet! (We may be a bit biased) If anybody has any questions about WhatsUp Gold please let us know, we will be in the comment section to help out where we can ☕
Lol 😂 too quick to comment
10 devices doesn't even cover half of my ever changing lab environment. I constantly spin up and down VMs. What are the options for someone who does a ton in their homelab to learn various technologies. I saw somewhere that adding 25 devices was something along the lines of $2k US which is asinine for just a homelab.
@@DeadlyDragon_ Having 10+ devices for hobby use is fairly abnormal. That's could be a lot for even a small business.
@@maskettaman1488 My homelab is quite extensive. You are only thinking of physical and I use my homelab to further my experience and my career.
In my homelab I have a firewall, 2 cisco switches, 2 dell servers, a synology nas, and 2 ubiquiti access points. Thats just the physical architecture. On top of the physical I have a ton of VMs. 6 For kubernetes so I could learn how to build out an HA Cluster, I have 3 VMs for windows server (Root CA, Intermediate CA, and AD) I have my media server, a docker host, a Wazuh cluster, an opensearch cluster, I have an ansible server, I have graylog running, E-mail Server, DNS server (Bind Primary w/ Pihole as secondary) I have My raspberry PIs as well running various other services. Each of these VMs / physical endpoints will take up a slot in WUG.
And this is a quite small environment you'd be surprised at how much a business actually runs compared to my lab. Also keep in mind that I work as a network engineer, learning new technologies and protocols comes with the territory and the best way to do so is to spin it up at home and use it.
@@maskettaman148810 devices is nothing nowadays. Even a small business use more than 10 devices. A couple of servers, a few clients, a couple of switches, a Wi-Fi bridge, a printer and a firewall. At least.
I remember WhatsUP gold, glad to see a free offering.
We are super excited about it too.
this is a wicked good exercise for folks with a home lab.
The breakdown setup at 15:46 is _a e s t h e t i c_
This takes me back to the days of monitoring mikrotik routers with the dude
we gonna monitor our coffee machines with this one 🗣️🗣️🗣️ 🔥🔥 💯
Did u ditch UptimeKuma
it's different, uptime kuma is for up and down status like site24x7
this is sponsored clearly lol. every week new sponsor
Your setup is so cool 🥰
The logs image got me 😂🔥
Much appreciated!
I can learn anything from this guy than my school or college. and never get bored.
Mr. Chuck, your videos are amazing and full of information but how much review or research do you usually do for a video like this?
This is cool. Lansweeper + Kuma UpTime in a box. I'm dealing with these at the moment.
Nice, thanks
Wow!... Time for cold brew coffee! ☕️☕️ ☕️
Prometheus, Grafana, Alert Manager and node_exporter (as the agent): also a nice choice. Definitely not for novices that want an out-of-the-box solution.
And when do you have to monitor behind a firewall? In Zabbix, Zabbix-Proxy is used, what alternatives does Prometheus have for this use case?
I'm talking about monitoring machines on a client's network, collecting all the metrics in one and sending this to Prometheus. How does this apply?
great job as usual
8:34 - you nano loving moster :P hehe
Alright you win chuck. I'm gonna try wug :)
I've used a bunch of 'em. Big Brother, Whatsup, Nagios, Zabbix, Uptime Kuma. I always go back to Nagios. Zabbix is a close second.
monitor the monitor connected to what you need to be monitoring. Yes, YES!
I use PRTG it's pretty good too :)
Sooo funny man.. loved this vid.😂
One year ago UpTime Kuma was your favorite monitoring tool. Now this. We don't all have tens of thousands of dollars to setup new servers at home you know...
thx this helped me add my Raspberry Pi 5 to an Observium server running on a Raspberry Pi 400. But can I run WhatsUp Gold on a Raspberry Pi 400?
Damn man, since when u got jump scares in your vids ! :D U got me there with that Rock pretty hard
Does it also monitors when the User is down, and sends a notification to its therapist?
Oh Lord, Im having flashbacks!
Used WUG 20 years ago!!
Happy to provide a bit of nostalgia Graham
I use PRTG for my homelab to monitor!
Have you tried that?
Wow! Super Amazing
I needed this for my AI Toilet with vision.
Does it wipe before or after it flushes?
@@RikuRicardo it has Indian mode as well it washes my ass and then wipe after i am done
Beeper and pagers are for people who support networks in skifs. Can't have phones. But can have approved beepers.
FirstWave's NMIS is a Linux version of this with 20 nodes free.
I’ve been in cloud eng / IT for 15 years and I never knew what SNMP was. Thanks for this video. It was fantastic
The glowup is real!
Never fails to entertain!🎉🎉🎉
Have you used Prometheus and Grafana ? I think it's the real gold of monitoring. Good video as always tho!
Awesome!
What keyboard and with what switches is NetworkChuck using here? Curious!
I need another video like this using Prometheus and grafana
I was using WUG 25 years ago now..... interested in seeing what they've morphed into.....
Great to hear you still remember us, why not try it out, it's free after all!
I like vim! It's my favorite text editor! :)
How is this possible?, I was searching for this a few days ago, and you dropped a video on it now.
Perfect timing, let us know if you have any questions @Nulley0
Could you do video about can you still use esxi since its now broadcom?
watching this channel go from 100k subs to 3 million subs, is brilliant
Very well software but using grafana is more helpfully and open source, WUG too can't personalized custom application monitoring, thank you networkchuck for this tutorial
WhatsUp Gold! That was how I (DJ) started in monitoring in the early 2000’s!
I am just curious, is there any benefit to this over like ProxMox (or any other VM management) as, monitoring wise as far as I saw it does nearly everything roughly the same
@NetworkChuck - You've probably been asked this a gazillion times, but what software do you use to write on screen like that? I'm looking for something similar for my meetings/presentations.
Just throwing my opinion into the mix. Zabbix all the way!
i only have a poweredge r630 and i use the idrac8 build in features and the software bridge that is needed to get informations about the os and the i can sms, email or do automatic stuff with this and interact with the os and vms. idrac is nice but yea it is a dedicated hardware solution and in my case over 7 years old and things might be have changed with newer versions.
Would totally use WhatsUp Gold, but 10 devices doesn't even touch one docker host for me in my homelab. Come on WhatsUp Gold, 50-100 devices is a better number. You'll increase your usage and adoption which could translate to professional environments.
The grafana stack is opensource and way OP
Nothing to worry about if you do not have any stuff to look over. Relax, chill, eat and sleep.
There are now so many players in this game it's insane. But makes sense, it's a lucurative market based on the number of MSPs out there. That being said, if you need anything sophisticated in any monitoring system it's never free and it becomes an unmanageable cost once you get past 100 devices. They all use WMI and SNMP. Prometheus however is the best overall free all-inclusive monitoring system.
Zabbix is the best in the open source space at the moment.
thx do you want create a automatic ticket on service now or GLPI. have good day :)
Hi chuck.. im stuck at the first WMI command .can you help please
Chuck I LOVE your vids... maybe use 1 or 10 less cups of coffee so I don't have to rewind you so much... you are a sonic the hedgehog man~!
This is cool, but The Dude is the most undervalued free monitoring solution on the planet.
I'm getting really paranoid to the temperature on my Laptop just lately. I've figure it out tho I've narrowed it down to apps running in the background and the type apps I use. 🤔
Just use home assistant. It just works and doesn’t necessitate an extra service
Never clicked on a video so fast!
What do you think of the whole thing with MS Win 11 TPM and the computer not being your own, but owned by MS?
I also love graphana and connected services - I use k8s for my main services that I host, so I don't think that comes as a surprise. xD
his beard continues growing. 😀
Is there a Linux version or MacOS version of this software, honestly I need to install on my 8gb 4b pi which is ARM if not my Mac Mini that is also well ARM
Can you monitor virtual machines with this also?
Man.... I used this like 100 years ago, OK maybe 15... I had no idea it was still around.
@NetworkChuck Hey Man I would like to thank you SO much i have been struggling to get this info into my head but this Video Is great Thank man You are the best
therapist: downtime charles isnt real. he cant hurt you.
downtime charles: "sla is 2 days"
Please make a video on log server
13:54 - could use some emphasis that it is "Administrator**S**", very easy to miss.
“I am Bob’s shaking head”…… lol
Yo Chuck, could you remake a hackers roadmap 2024 video? that was kinda the best video i've seen
can you make a video on grafana/prometheus?
Could you make a TrueNAS tutorial please.
How does What's Up compare to PRTG?
PRTG or Checkmk is much better and cheaper. Whatsup is $$$$
Can you tell me the name of the song you used at the beginning of the video? Asking for a friend.
*Very cool Video!* an alternative to other software like Zabbix or Grafana/prometheus although i think its a very hard market to compete with these other 2.
followed the instructions, every device was limited to ping monitoring.
Thinking of Homeassistant, which has basically any device, its drive and their mothers on display, running on a slim raspberry, make this almost obsolete. Only the notification is something you don't get directly out of the box and not sure if it does work without subscription.
I like the steadfast..
