How to overcome data silos in open source server monitoring

The problem server administrators face is being able to tie disparate data from multiple sources together. One solution is to create a "swivel chair integration" with multiple dashboards on different screens, but this can be hard to compare and correlate data into meaningful insights. A better solution is to bring all data into one platform, such as New Relic, which can unify data and remove observability silos. This can be achieved by integrating open source server monitoring tools like Nagios, Zabbix, or Prometheus using alternate agents, APIs, or custom integrations. These tools can collect different types of data, some of which may not be available in every solution on the market, requiring multiple tools to be used together. By sending this data to New Relic, administrators can gain a unified view of their environment and make better decisions about their infrastructure.
