It's the metrics stack from Endless OS. The server side is a Python web server that enqueues received events into Redis, and a Python service that pulls events from Redis, parses them, and inserts them into a PostgreSQL database. We publish Docker images of both, which are what we use in production. The most unusual dependency (for a server) is on GLib and GObject-Introspection, which are needed because the wire protocol uses GVariant.

I always wonder why a big and complicated stack is needed to collect a ping.... and yes I'm old school preferring an apache and a script instead ;-)

I'm sure people out there have strong opinions about GLib in server software (it's already present on all of mine, because Avahi). But it's not *that* weird - I've seen headless server software that uses Qt for networking.
