See what's actually happening
5-second collection catches CPU spikes and memory leaks that 60-second averaging completely misses. Debug faster with real data.
Container-native
Per-container CPU, memory, and network stats. Proxmox VM metrics. Not just host-level percentages.
Know when jobs fail
Cron monitoring tracks if your backups actually ran, not just if the server responded to a ping.
When HetrixTools might be a better fit
If your main need is blacklist monitoring for mail servers or simple uptime checks across many endpoints, HetrixTools is solid and has a generous free tier. FiveNines focuses on depth over breadth, fewer servers, more detail.
