What and how do you monitor the status of systemd/services?

Question

linux

Hello,
I’m interested in how the status of services is monitored on the sale, I can google it, but since so far in this newbie I would like to learn best practice from experienced ones. I 'm interested in the following:
1) The agent on the client server monitors the status of all services in the system, and if one of them is changed or restarted, this event is logged to the head server with the ability to alert
2) It is desirable that this agent work in conjunction - prometheus + grafana
Thank you

Answer 1

There is https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter But it bases binding to systemd. And for your task, I think you will have to write your own solution.

Answer 2

I have been using zabbix-agent -> zabbix-server -> grafana for many years
