A beautiful technical performance dashboard for your hosted web site based on Python, Django, Elasticsearch and Grafana.
It was July 2016 when I wanted to help a friend of mine having some severe technical issues with his own hosted high traffic web site.
He experienced a crucial loss of visitors and revenue, so I decided to build for him a technical performance dashboard. Getting beyond the hosting limitations (e.g. permissions regarding installation of software) he was finally able to constantly monitoring the VPS technical performances.
Turning on HostinGuard, after a short while, we discovered slow response times, tons of 50x errors, and very odd workload trends.
Thanks also to HostinGuard, my friend's web site is now back again on track, being one of the most visited of its sector.

I talked about HostinGuard at the Linux Day 2018 in Bari (Italy). Check out here the slides! (Italian only)
