Best / Monitoring & observability

Best open-source Monitoring & observability

The best open-source monitoring split in the c17.io catalog is Checkcle (or Huginn) for uptime and agents, Grafana OSS for dashboards, and Maple when you want traces, logs, and metrics in one source-available box. Prometheus, GlitchTip, and SigNoz are named on stack pages but are not all Crew catalog rows — Grafana and Checkcle are.

FAQ

Grafana OSS or Grafana Cloud?
This ranking is OSS you run. Grafana Cloud is the hosted meter /replace/grafana-cloud leaves.
Where are Prometheus and GlitchTip?
Prometheus is named on the Grafana stack; GlitchTip is /stacks/glitchtip-errors. Only catalog rows are ranked here. Checkcle is in the catalog; Prometheus is not.
Are these free?
Open-source or source-available as listed; you pay hosting and disk. Template users never pay c17.
How do I deploy it?
Start with /stacks/checkcle-monitoring for uptime, then /stacks/grafana-observability if you need dashboards.
