Zabbix is an open-source monitoring platform used to track the performance, health, and availability of IT systems.
I kinda love Zabbix by the how it can modified or edit to show dashboard. It can either be use with SNMP v3 or agent to be monitored. I also configured it to sent to my telegram group to get notified what current happening to my infra. Zabbix Telegram Guide
