I manage a fleet of linux devices and I need a way to send telemtry data(CPU, memory, drives, etc.) from devices to a centralized server and also send commands(linux service restarts for example) from server to devices to execute on the device. I understand Cockpit works great for this.
What I need help with: The 15 different linux devices are bare metal boxes in 15 different locations access to WAN with a dynamic IP address. Would Cockpit work for this? In a year the number of devices could jump to 100 so I'm looking for suggestions on best to manage.
Thanks.

Cockpit would be a great way to put together a UI for data gathered, but doesn't gather the data itself.
I'd suggest a centralized server like Prometheus.
For running commands across machines, I'd suggest Ansible as the first tool you evaluate.
Cheers,

Thank you. I will check out Prometheus and Ansible.
