Ask HN: Monitoring linux server networks

1 points by man_of_wax ↗ HN
Hello, I'm managing about an houndred of linux servers, the tool I'm using to keep everything under control are: salt, icinga2, osquery, and an elasticsearch cluster where all my servers are sending their logs.

I'd like to extract same infos: all users currently logged in, all git repos with uncommitted changes etc. I'm thinking about using osquery to get this info and save them on elastic. Since kibana dashboard are not very suited to show this type of data I'm not sure what to do next.

The only solution I came up is to write a python program that collect and display this information on a webpage with search and filter functionality. Are there better ways or tools to do this job?

Better than what, than a dashboard? Or what exactly are you asking about?
