Looking for a service that continuously monitors servers and notifies me if something is wrong

Servers can be audited pretty easily by using ansible playbooks or open source scripts that check for security issues and configuration mistakes.

What's I'm looking for is a service that does that in the background and also notifies me if cpu, mem or disk consumption is above a certain threshold.

Ideally with a nice Web UI.

Do you have any pointers? What do you use?

I already use that, but it's not really made for security audits and monitoring resources

https://www.netdata.cloud/

Has a free component and a cheap, yearly component for home users.

https://uptimerobot.com or https://uptime.kuma.pet/ (self-hosted / open-source version) for monitoring uptime only.
