The article discusses modern monitoring and event notification systems: ensuring optimal use of resources and functioning of information systems and processes. Purpose of the study. Determine the monitoring system available under the GPL license, which would be the least expensive in terms of resources and at the same time would have the greatest configuration flexibility, full functionality and a clear interface. It is noted that effective management of information infrastructure and prompt response to events, such as failures in the operation of servers or network devices, have become key aspects of the successful activities of organizations. An overview of modern monitoring and warning systems is given, which provide continuous monitoring of the IT environment and provide a prompt response to events. Discusses methods for collecting and analyzing data, integration with other systems, and the importance of efficient use of resources. A comparison of the Prometheus + Grafana and Zabbix monitoring systems was carried out in order to analyze the installation and system requirements of each of these systems in order to gain a more complete understanding of their features. The main elements that make up the infrastructure of monitoring systems are listed. An analysis of the potential functions of monitoring systems was carried out, which helped determine which of them are most important for an organization or project. Several popular and most suitable monitoring systems have been selected to meet the requirements and needs. An empirical study was conducted that provided practical insight into which monitoring systems are most suitable for specific tasks and conditions. It is concluded that Prometheus and Grafana have the lowest resource load and high configuration flexibility, especially for containerized and highly dynamic environments. Zabbix is suitable for organizations with larger and more complex infrastructures where extensive monitoring functionality is important. However, the choice between these systems must be consistent with the specific needs and resources of the organization, as well as the level of technical expertise available to install and configure the monitoring system.
