What is the best compatible Monitoring Software with cPanel

[A Hartonian]

Hello,

I am currently using Zabbix for monitoring 132 BareMetal cPanel servers.
I would appreciate if you could share your experience on best options as monitoring software that has most compatibility with cPanel server.

Thank you

Hey there! I'm always hesitant to name anything a "best" but other users will certainly chime in with their experiences. I know Nagios is a popular option as well that has a wide following.

As @cPRex said, there is no "best", it's what's best for your organization. Zabbix is nice and pretty straight forward. From memory (have not looked at it in years) Zabbix uses an agent to monitor certain things. In our environment that does not work as we can't install the agent on everything. Nagios is also nice. It has a bit of a learning curve setting up the config files, but once you understand that (and templates) then it's pretty straight forward also. There are also a ton of SaaS monitoring services.

It would really depend on what you want to monitor and, of course, your budget.
