If spinning up and configuring [Prometheous with Grafana](https://prometheus.io) is complete overkill for you task, Sampler might be the right solution. No servers, no databases, no deploy - you specify shell commands, and it just works. -## Ok, then it should be installed on every server I monitor? -No, you can run Sampler on local, but still gather telemetry from multiple remote machines.
