## What it is
Amon is a self-hosted server monitoring platform written in Python that collects system metrics, logs, and exception data from monitored machines via an agent. It provides dashboards, alarms, and alerting for server and web application health.

## Use cases
- monitor cpu, memory, and disk usage across my servers
- self-hosted alternative to server monitoring SaaS
- set up alerts when a server goes down or resources spike
- collect and visualize system metrics on a dashboard
- track application exceptions and logs in one place
- monitor web application performance and health

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted monitoring platform with dashboards and alerting
- you prefer a lightweight Python-based agent for collecting server metrics
- you need basic server health monitoring without a large observability stack

## When to avoid
- you need modern, actively maintained tooling - development activity is limited and the latest release dates to 2022
- you require full observability with distributed tracing and complex integrations
- you need a cloud-managed monitoring solution

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: monitoring, alerting, logging, analytics
- domain: monitoring, self-hosted, backend
- platform: self-hosted, python
- tags: server-monitoring, metrics-collection, dashboard, statsd, health-checks, agent-based, devops, linux, web-server
