I’m aware of enterprise scale observability tools like ELK stack and datadog. I’d like to monitor my containerized (hobby) web app running on a $6/mo VPS. I’d rather self-host to keep the costs low, but grafana takes up gigabytes of memory that my VPS does not have. Are there any lighter alternatives? My hobby site can handle around 500 concurrent users and I don’t expect much growth.

Poor man's dashboard: Get your desired metrics with grep/wc/whatever shell commands from your logs, and visualize with PyQtGraph/PySide (or even gnuplot, for an even lighter experience).

interesting

> GoAccess is written in C

I assumed it would be written in Golang from the name.
