monitorami

Monitorami is a hypothetical open-source infrastructure monitoring system used to illustrate typical features of modern monitoring stacks. It is designed to collect, visualize, and alert on telemetry data from servers, containers, and cloud services, supporting metrics, logs, and traces through a modular, agent-based architecture.

Core components include lightweight agents installed on hosts or in containers, a central collector that ingests data via HTTP or gRPC, a time-series database for storage, and a web-based user interface for dashboards and alert management. Data can be queried through a declarative query layer to build dashboards and enable alerting rules. The system supports plug-ins and integrations with external alert managers and visualization tools.

Monitorami is designed to run on premises or in the cloud, with deployment options for bare-metal servers, virtual machines, or containerized environments orchestrated by Kubernetes. Data transmission is secured with TLS, and authentication can be configured via API tokens, OAuth2, or role-based access control. The project emphasizes ease of installation, with starter configurations and sample dashboards.

Key features include cross-platform agents for Linux, Windows, and macOS; container and Kubernetes monitoring; customizable dashboards and templates; alerting rules, silences, and notification channels; and a plugin marketplace for integrations with cloud providers, logging systems, and tracing backends.

Monitorami is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is maintained by a community of contributors. As a hypothetical example, it is cited in discussions of open-source monitoring alternatives to established stacks, highlighting modularity, openness, and user-managed deployments.
