I'm looking to transition away from our managed service provider and need recommendations for effective monitoring and alerting tools suitable for our on-premise infrastructure. We're a small team managing several servers, virtual machines, and some storage, totaling a few hundred devices. We're not considering AWS solutions as that's handled by our DevOps team. We're open to both paid and open-source options, but something cost-effective would be a plus. Our network team has been exploring openNMS, but I'm looking for suggestions more focused on system monitoring.

For a more advanced setup, integrate Telegraf with InfluxDB and Grafana. It’s unbeatable when it comes to custom monitoring options and strong alerting capabilities.
PRTG has been my go-to choice for monitoring. I’ve had a frustrating experience with Zabbix in the past due to its complicated setup, but others may find Zabbix works well for them.
I suggest giving Uptime Kuma a try. It’s great for basic checks like database or DNS responsiveness.
Zabbix is totally free and well-documented, making it easier to set up, especially if you combine it with a configuration management tool like Puppet or Ansible.
Check out CheckMK! It's effective, though it can be quite chatty right away—be sure to enable the averaging feature when you start.
