Good luck, if you get into it, you'll be unable to stop. Perfecting your monitoring system is a kind of mania :)
One more advice for another kind of monitoring. When you are installing / configuring something on your server - it's handy if you can monitor it's resource usage in real time. And that's why I use MobaXterm as my terminal program. It has many drawbacks, and competitors such as XShell, RoyalTS or Tabby look better in many ways... but it has one killer feature. It shows a status bar with current server load (CPU, RAM, disk usage, traffic) right below your SSH session, so that you don't have to switch to another window to see the effect of your actions. Saved me a lot of potential headache.
