The Sensu Open Source Project (a.k.a. "Sensu Core") intends to provide an open framework for building comprehensive monitoring solutions, without imposing restrictions or being overly opinionated. While new user-facing "features" may be developed exclusively in Sensu Enterprise, the framework that makes those features possible will always be a part of Sensu Core.
Shinken is an open source computer system and network monitoring software application compatible with Nagios. It's written in Python and therefore is able to run on all platforms where a Python interpreter is available. In contrast to Nagios it is not a monolithic system. Shinken runs as a bunch of highly specialized processes, avoiding the bottlenecks of a single-process design. This parallelity allows to run Shinken not only on one single server. It's components can be distributed over a whole server farm, which results in incredible scalability. Shinken is actively developed and already got more features than Nagios (like priorities for objects, business processes, auto-generation of services, discovery,...)

Telegraf is a metric collection daemon that can collect metrics from a wide array of inputs and write them into a wide array of outputs. It is plugin-driven for both collection and output of data so it is easily extendable. It is written in Go, which means that it is a compiled and standalone binary that can be executed on any system with no need for external dependencies, no npm, pip, gem, or other package management tools required.

It works by combining Elasticsearch with two types of components, rule types and alerts. Elasticsearch is periodically queried and the data is passed to the rule type, which determines when a match is found. When a match occurs, it is given to one or more alerts, which take action based on the match.
This is configured by a set of rules, each of which defines a query, a rule type, and a set of alerts.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a widely used protocol for monitoring the health and welfare of network equipment (eg. routers), computer equipment and even devices like UPSs. Net-SNMP is a suite of applications used to implement SNMP v1, SNMP v2c and SNMP v3 using both IPv4 and IPv6. The suite includes:
Command-line applications to: retrieve information from an SNMP-capable device, either using single requests (snmpget, snmpgetnext), or multiple requests (snmpwalk, snmptable, snmpdelta). manipulate configuration information on an SNMP-capable device (snmpset). retrieve a fixed collection of information from an SNMP-capable device (snmpdf, snmpnetstat, snmpstatus). convert between numerical and textual forms of MIB OIDs, and display MIB content and structure (snmptranslate). A graphical MIB browser (tkmib), using Tk/perl. A daemon application for receiving SNMP notifications (snmptrapd). Selected notifications can be logged (to syslog, the NT Event Log, or a plain text file), forwarded to another SNMP management system, or passed to an external application. An extensible agent for responding to SNMP queries for management information (snmpd). This includes built-in support for a wide range of MIB information modules, and can be extended using dynamically loaded modules, external scripts and commands, and both the SNMP multiplexing (SMUX) and Agent Extensibility (AgentX) protocols. A library for developing new SNMP applications, with both C and perl APIs. Net-SNMP is available for many Unix and Unix-like operating systems and also for Microsoft Windows. Note: Functionality can vary depending on the operating system. Please see the README files for information specific to your platform.
The documentation section contains detailed information on command line tools, installation, configuration etc.
The syslog-ng Open Source Edition™ is a highly portable log management solution to create collect, filter, classify, store and forward log messages.
syslog-ng OSE, open source syslog server
The syslog-ng project is a continuous community effort to create the best log management tool. The project is an advocate and early adopter of open standards, including the syslog RFCs developed by the IETF or the Common Event Expression (CEE) message-description standard of the MITRE Corporation.
The syslog-ng application supports reliable and encrypted transport using TCP and TLS, and offers powerful message filtering, sorting, pre-processing and log normalization capabilities. Utilizing message parsing and classification, syslog-ng is able to correlate log messages both real-time and offline, making it especially useful for system administrators and security managers needing to quickly access important events in the massive amounts of log data generated by complex IT environments.. This high-performance tool handles extreme loads easily, and is extensible with various plug-ins to best suit your requirements.

Telegram is a messaging app created by former VK creators with a focus on speed and security. It’s superfast, simple and free. It is like SMS, but more powerful.
You can send messages, photos and videos to people who are in your phone contacts (and have Telegram). You can also create groups for up to 200000 people or channels for unlimited subscribers.
Your chats are not encrypted by default, which enables other people to see what you are writing. You can enable a "Secret Chat" to enable end-to-end encryption.
Telegram offers a Premium plan too: by subscribing to Telegram Premium, users unlock doubled limits, 4 GB file uploads, faster downloads, exclusive stickers and reactions, improved chat management – and a whole lot more. At the same time, all existing features that users have come to expect and rely on for nearly a decade remain free. Moreover, non-premium users will be able to enjoy some of Premium's benefits: for example, download the extra-large documents and view stickers sent by premium users, as well as tap to increase counters on premium reactions that were already added to a message. There are different prices for the Premium subscription based on your country, also if you buy it via the @premiumbot you don't have to pay the app store fees.
Telegram's security model has received notable criticism by cryptography experts. They criticized the general security model of permanently storing all contacts, messages and media together with their decryption keys on its servers by default and by not enabling end-to-end encryption for messages by default.
Telegram's client-side code is open-source software, whereas its server-side code is closed-source and proprietary. The service also provides public APIs with which developers can access the same functionality as Telegram's official apps to build their own messaging applications.
Telegram also provides a bot API for programmers to create different kinds of Telegram bots. Bots are simply Telegram accounts operated by software – not people – and they'll often have AI features. They can do anything – teach, play, search, broadcast, remind, connect, integrate with other services, or even pass commands to the Internet of Things.
