What MetricsHub is
MetricsHub is an open-source, OpenTelemetry-based collector for monitoring infrastructure and exporting metrics to observability platforms. One instance can remotely monitor up to 1,000 hosts, with connectors for servers, storage, network devices, databases, and enterprise applications. Connectors collect data through methods including HTTP, IPMI, JMX, SNMP, SSH, WBEM, WinRM, and WMI. Users can extend monitoring through declarative YAML configuration without custom code. MetricsHub can also monitor power consumption, carbon intensity, and electricity costs. Its web interface covers configuration, metric and resource visualization, analysis, and troubleshooting, and named integrations include BMC Helix, Datadog, Grafana, ServiceNow, New Relic, Prometheus, and Splunk. The self-hosted product supports Linux and Windows. Community Edition is free and includes basic hardware monitoring, 20+ dedicated connectors, and remote monitoring. Enterprise Edition costs $15 a month, billed per host, and includes a 30-day trial, 200+ connectors, an embedded OpenTelemetry Collector, and premium support. The site describes Community for smaller projects and Enterprise for mission-critical environments.
