I’m not looking for a 3rd party consultancy company to monitor my database or to do any DBA work… I’m simply asking if anybody knows of any PostgreSQL monitoring tool similar to awide.io that is open source? That you have used in the past and could share your thoughts, pros and cons?

I know https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Monitoring <https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Monitoring> provides a list of monitoring tools, but I want to hear from you guys. What you use, why and if you would do it differently if you had the chance.
