I want to monitor my local network/homelab, and I am looking for a FreeBSD-based solution, since my infrastructure is FreeBSD, and I would prefer to run it in a jail or if not, then on a single-board computer, like some manner of Pi or the like.
I would like to run on PostgreSQL rather than MySQL (if possible), would prefer it run on nginx over apache.
Things I am not interested in are nagios, don't want a cloud based solution (like netdata) that stores your data in the cloud. I had prometheus/grafana running, but the node exporter on FreeBSD satarted spamming the logs with a sysctl/zfs error every few seconds. I was looking at zabbix, but the the guides I have found online are very old, for zabbix 2/3/4 and FreeBSD 10-12 (circa 2012-2019), and I tried about a year ago to get something running, but could never get it going. There seems to be a lot of moving parts (server, frontend, proxy, agent, and some java component), and I'm still trying to work out what goes where, and how all the pieces fit together.
So is there a guide on setting up Zabbix, specifically under a recent version of FreeBSD? Is there a better alternative for an NMS in 2024?
Thanks!
