influx is easy until you start trying to customize it with rollup policies, multiple retention schedules and other things that aren't part of the default settings

out of the box it just keeps everything forever with full detail instead of doing coarse averaging for historic data, which works pretty well for home setups with a couple hundred metrics on a minute interval but not so great with thousands of servers sending tens of thousands of metrics every few seconds.

the reason nagios runs for years without anyone touching it is that nobody wants to actively maintain it even with a gun to their head

it can sort of work if you write your own custom scripts that autogenerate all the config files for it,good luck maintaining that poo poo by hand though
