The decade old, open source, self hosted, debug it yourself standard for monitoring is collectd+graphite+grafana.

The equivalent easy to setup and use, with ALL the features working out of the box, SaaS standard is https://www.datadoghq.com/ or potentially Google Stack driver if you are on Google Cloud.

The thread you are linking to is a complete joke. The guy didn't see that the pricing was per host, even though it's written in big letters. His whole series of rant is ridiculous.

Stack Driver is a Google Cloud service, you need a Google account with billing to use it. It can gather metrics from hundreds of vendors, including AWS and Azure.
