Nagios monitoring

You’ll want to start by installing the necessary packages, and then configure your Nagios setup with the appropriate resources and hosts. If you need specific step-by-step guidance, let me know what version of Linux you’re using.
 
Agreed about Zabbix (even tho Zabbix is itself massive).

Other potentially simpler alternatives is Munin (tho alerting on it is poor) and Monit (with alerting being fairly primitive).

I built an entire platform of my just to _not_ run Nagios.

It may be 'massive', but it's very easy to work with. All I have to do is clone host X and change the IP / SSH macro. That's it. Everything is setup and ready to go for a new host
 
I so much want to change from our old nagios monitoring server to something newer. But just cannot seem to get myself to as I understand nagios so well and it "just works".

Maybe one day I will force myself to do it on a weekend.

We use UptimeRobot for external monitoring and Observium for internal monitoring. I remember the days of cacti and we used it. I knew people who use nagios, but haven't given it a good try personally.

Ensure you check for the latest version of Nagios to keep it up-to-date!
 
You can hire someone on Upwork.com

If Nagios is not an absolute requirement, you may want to look at Observium which is much simpler to install.

+1 for both internal as well as external monitoring. Uptime Robot is good, as is Pingdom.

Used Pingdom for over 10 years, all the way till 2019. We switched to UptimeRobot and never looked back. Pingdom was great, but they got away from the basic 'PING' and started charging more and more while their product/service went downhill.
