MetricsHub is an OpenTelemetry-based metrics collector for monitoring infrastructure and exporting metrics to observability platforms. One instance can remotely monitor up to 1,000 hosts. Its connectors cover servers, storage systems, network devices, databases, and enterprise applications, collecting data through methods including HTTP, IPMI, JMX, SNMP, SSH, WBEM, WinRM, and WMI. Users can extend monitoring with declarative YAML configuration without custom code. MetricsHub also monitors power consumption, carbon intensity, and electricity costs. A web interface supports configuration, resource and metric visualization, analysis, and troubleshooting. Named integrations include BMC Helix, Datadog, Grafana, ServiceNow, New Relic, Prometheus, and Splunk. It is self-hosted and supports Linux and Windows monitoring. The free Community Edition is positioned for small-scale or individual projects. Enterprise is described for mission-critical environments and costs $15 a month, billed per host, with a 30-day trial.
