As I dip my toes into running a homelab and some other managed servers for small personal projects, I find myself itching for a way to better monitor things. Especially with the more homegrown approach, services crash or fall over occasionally and I don’t always notice quickly.
The tools I’m familiar with are on the enterprise grade / cost side of the spectrum (professional hazard).
So I’m on the hunt for tips / recommendations.

What I’m vaguely looking for:
Bonus points
And I’ll stress the easy to use part again. While it’ll be fun to mess around with, I don’t want to spend a ton of time getting it going and adding things. I’d love a tool that does the job and stays out of the way so I can focus on the actual homelab apps.

@ryanboswell I'd start by looking at the otel collector for the collection side of the data.
For the storage and visualization, your choice is then wide open. I'm not in on the self-hosting side, but cheap/free cloud hosts exist too.
