Is there any monitoring tools to create scenarios/dependencies check?

Question

My team and I got the project to test a new monitoring solution that allow us to :

Perform classical monitoring checks (through SNMP, ping, sensor status, vendor librairies etc...)
Perform checks in chain or healthchecks, like a scenario, for instance => check a switch interface + check server status + check database query + check app status => red/orange/green alert.

We're currently using Eye Of Network (based on Nagios/Grafana), it's very complete but it doesn't allow to create checks in chain, i also tried PRTG, it seems it doesn't have the functionnality. Meanwhile, in a different project, we're testing Dynatrace since weeks but it more APM oriented.

I don't know if such a solution exists or if we'll have to go for a custom solution.

Thanks a lot for your advices guys.

Have you tried Zabbix? It allows to create triggers with complex metrics which highly customizable. — Marat Gainutdinov, Nov 18 '21 at 08:10
I heard about Zabbix but i didn't know it allow such functionnality. I'll give it a try ;) Do you know if the custom part is user friendly or not ? (the plan is to allow different workers to create scenarios, so skills may vary from one to another) — inframan, Nov 18 '21 at 08:23
You can use Zabbix API in order to automate some tasks, additionally create templates and autodiscovery for easy maintaing hosts inventory :) — Marat Gainutdinov, Nov 18 '21 at 08:43
Additionally, it has got regularly updated montoring templates for popular devices. — Marat Gainutdinov, Nov 18 '21 at 08:45
Will you accept my answer if I post it here? Please feel free to ask any questions about Zabbix — Marat Gainutdinov, Nov 18 '21 at 08:45

I think Zabbix perfectly fits your needs.

It can perform classical monitoring checks (SNMP, ping, etc.)
You can create complex triggers based on metrics.
Additionally, you can create customized actions for different alerts.
