Light system monitor service with Home Assistant integration (szmer.info)

Hello.

I have home server with Home Assistant and small VPSes. I want to monitor one of the VPS in Home Assistant. I know that Glances could be the best choice here, but I cannot connect Glances wuth Home Assistant (I can access to web interface hosted directly on VPS, but I cannot connect it to Home Assistant). Is there a light alternative that I can quickly install on VPS server (ubuntu) and connect it with Home Assistant? I don't need a lot of metrics - only CPU, RAM, Load and maybe net traffic. I am open to standards like MQTT.

Its not exactly lightweight, but the Netdata integration will get you all of that.

Securing Netdata itself can be a bit of a chore, and then the integration requires creating sensors of interest in your configuration.yaml file. Have a look, it might be an interesting project if you're up for a challenge.

Curious to hear what others are thinking too.
