What are the best server performance monitoring tools?

Pros

Pro
Limited free tier

5 VMs with 24h history and no alerts for free.

Pro
Docker support

The Datadog Agent container runs with the other containers on a host. It collects metrics from neighboring containers and from the host. It can monitor 10 or 20 containers free per host license.

Cons

Con
$15/host/month is quite expensive

If you are running big fat systems which are probably bare metal, DataDog may be a very good fit. But if you are running small virtual machines you may discover that its somewhat expensive price can become a real problem.
