How developers use Grafana vs Prometheus vs Nagios

ShadowICT uses Nagios
We use Nagios to monitor our stack and alert us when problems arise. Nagios allows us to monitor every aspect of each of our servers such as running processes, CPU usage, disk usage, and more. This means that as soon as problems arise, we can detect them and call out an engineer to resolve the issues as soon as possible.

ShadowICT uses Grafana
We use Grafana to view live stats relating to our servers such as memory and CPU usage. We also use Grafana to monitor our gaming servers for data such as latency and player counts. This allows us to generate effective analytics and see when problems arise.
-
Kalibrr uses Nagios
Each piece of our infrastructure is monitored using Nagios, alerting us immediately if anything goes wrong (hopefully before anyone else notices), and with a level of granularity that really helps in resolving things quickly when things are on fire.

andrewgatenby uses Grafana
Everyone likes graphs, right?! This isn't a tool we actively use right now, but paired with Prometheus we want to use it to have visual monitors on things like API cluster health, status, queue stats, DB/redis query and cache stats etc.
