Hi there

I think server-monitoring is already a solved problem.
You can stitch yourself a pretty fancy selfhosted page together (without cost) with the following tools:

• Minetest metrics exporter: https://git.rudin.io/minetest/serverstats
• Metrics collector: https://prometheus.io/
• Metrics display: https://grafana.com/

In the end it could look this:

I didn't find free Prometheus hosting and didn't want to host it on a server that can go offline anytime when my ISP want or when there is a power outage (pretty often, btw)
Your solution is great when your server is a VDS in datacenter, but is overkill when it is five years old laptop with broken screen under your bed :D

Yeah, you are right.
The setup is kinda complex initially, i used docker for this but it's not for everybody...

Another thing i saw: Why does it say "Trial version" on your CanvasJS graphs?

Well, CanvasJS licensing is another story. It is free for non-commercial use, but there is too much pain to register it. Will replace it with ChartistJS or ChartJS ASAP when i finally understand how to prevent them from bugging out on dynamic data.
