Monitoring the cool way·almondmonitor.com
Almond Monitor is a lightweight, extensible monitoring solution that uses Nagios plugins to collect data from servers, applications and containers. It consists of two services, 'almond' (a scheduler that runs Nagios plugins) and 'howru' (which publishes the collected data as HTML, JSON, or Prometheus metrics and can proxy data from multiple units). It exposes JSON APIs, OTEL/Prometheus metrics, and an inbuilt Kafka producer for integration with other monitoring platforms.
