Okmeter is a paid monitoring platform for Linux, self-hosted, and web environments.
What Okmeter is
Okmeter is a paid monitoring platform for Linux, self-hosted, and web environments. It watches server infrastructure and gathers large volumes of system metrics. Its agent can discover services, processes, and technologies in a cluster, then configure collection without manual setup. Automatic diagnostics run checks based on a knowledge base of common technology problems. Dashboards can combine thousands of metrics into a cluster view with drill-down. Triggers are checked every minute, with paging when a problem is detected. Listed coverage includes Nginx, Docker, Kubernetes, Java/JVM, StatsD, MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Cassandra, Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ, Redis, PgBouncer, Memcached, and ZooKeeper. Custom metrics can come from SQL, logs, scripts, HTTP responses, Redis, StatsD, or Prometheus-compatible exporters. Private installations keep monitoring data on the customer’s premises.
