Well, FWIW, I’m running a simple smokeping Docker container.

Just works, sits neatly alongside a few extra services (managed via compose) in a little ARM dev board and has kept on ticking for around five years without any hassles using exactly those bits you mentioned.

The new things are shinier, I think, and on the other hand a lot of the old, simpler tools have become less relevant.

As an aside, I recall a younger self annoyed at the inability to get data out of RRDTool into a nice SVG chart. These days I just want the data in whatever format the best tool spits out...
