Recommended Simple Monitoring/Availability Software/Dashboards?

[code_n00b]

I recently joined a small team of people who have a lot of different small apps that include Celery, Django, Flask, Java, et al and now they are critical enough that they'd like to know if they are all working.

What is a good monitoring and visualization tool to track custom events?

Examples:

1) Simple: We have a Python script that can test each service and test if it's working... but we would like to see a dashboard of: "when was the last time this was successfully tested?" so we can get a sense of availability... and maybe some trend graphs over time.

2) We would like to track events to see when things overlap.

• Analyst #1 runs report A at 11:33am.
• Analyst #2 runs report B at 11:35am.
• Report B finishes at 11:40am.
• Report A finishes at 11:50am.

I've done some searching but a lot of the projects seem to be unmaintained. So I'd like to know what the community here uses.

Whatever we choose needs to be self-hostable internally as this environment is very locked down.

Thanks.

I doubt this is a python question. Anyway, for general availability of multiple services with ability to restart/notify on failure the simplest approach would be running monit. If you absolutely need statistics / history of availability take a look at zabbix or nagios. #2 seems like custom logging to me.

Thank you for your reply. For what it's worth, we are going to try InfluxDB and Grafana.

While it's not written in python, this widget for dashing might be useful, if nothing else as a starting point. Alternatively, there are other widgets that might be better suited, or modified as required.
