Gyeeta vs MetricsHub

Gyeeta is a free, open-source observability tool for Linux that runs in a self-hosted setup. It uses eBPF and kernel statistics to monitor hosts, services, and processes without application instrumentation. For TCP services, it reports query rates, latency, network throughput, active connections, and process resource use. Automatic discovery finds TCP services, clients, and dependencies without code changes or configuration inputs. Algorithms can identify service degradation or contention and suggest a probable cause. You can inspect results in a Web UI or query REST APIs, including queries spanning multiple hosts, with JSON responses. Alert notifications support email, Slack, PagerDuty, and webhooks. Documentation says data remains in-house. Installation is available through shell scripts, Helm charts, Docker containers, rpm or deb packages, and tar packages. The architecture documentation describes monitoring tens of thousands of hosts with one central server and intermediate servers. Gyeeta supports x86_64 Linux hosts with kernel 4.4 or newer.

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.
