Ask HN: What do use for private service monitoring?

> What do you use for private service monitoring in your organization

Xymon and custom script tests. It's old and ugly, but it's very reliable, flexible, and easy to use. I've tried a number of different solutions, such as Nagios and others, but kept coming back to Xymon.

> how did you configure it initially

~30 years ago, with lots of upkeep and cleanups.

Seems like you’re looking for a glorified ping/prober? There’s blackbox_exporter for Prometheus that works great.

I used a lot of nagios descedants like icinga and checkmk. but at the moment i like the prometheus+grafana stack more.

What do you mean by a "private" service?

And what kind of monitoring?

services that are on an internal network and not accessible publicly, hence would require giving the tool access to the network to have continuous availability checks
