Hello,
I'm running into an issue with a lot of my sites, I run many myself and they are hosted on multiple VPS
I also have clients who have hosting elsewhere.
My question is, is there a way to "track" their vitals in one easy to use dashboard or perhaps program? I would just need to know simple things about it; cpu usage, if it's pingable if the website is reachable etc...
Does something like this exist? The VPS are all on ubuntu.
Also, I'm concerned about my clients SEO, if I "link" all the sites together, it may look like a big farm and hurt all websites rankings, or would it not? Ideally I want something with no footprint.

You might want to consider tools like Grafana or Monit, they offer a nice dashboard for monitoring your VPSs.
Grafana is a good choice as previously mentioned. We have been Netdata for monitoring the last year and this would be my personal recommendation, it's a case of installing the agent and it's done... there are so many out of the box integrations and the installation automatically picks up the monitoring for these integrations and sets up sensible thresholds for alerts automatically too.
Munin could fill this role.
The agent itself is super lightweight, almost no footprint.
The dashboard is also mostly lightweight, but kind of fiddly to set up if you don't experience with cgi-bin of yesteryear. The nice part about Munin is the dashboard can be installed in one location and the agent (munin-node) is just a package-manager install away.

Have you tried centralizing everything on one platform like Enhance.com?
They have a really cool dashboard showing server health, and it's not only meant for hosting companies.
It's not suitable for monitoring, and I wouldn't expect it to be since it's a web hosting control panel. It shows a graph for 5 minute average load over the past 24 hours, live memory usage and live disk space usage - previous stats aren't available for viewing and there's no alerting.

+1 for Munin.
I tried to post some other tips for using it, but it tripped some CloudFlare filter. Hey ho.
Have you tried using a tool like UptimeRobot or Zabbix for centralized monitoring of VPS and websites. These tools can track CPU usage, uptime, and website reachability and are compatible with Ubuntu.
To avoid it to appear as a link farm, focus on natural linking strategies or only link relevant, high-quality content sparingly. Ensure each site has unique content and separate IPs where possible for added safety.

We've been happy with HetrixTools server monitor: https://hetrixtools.com/feature/server-monitor/
They also have a great free version to test it out.

Expanding on that, if you use the free Uptime Monitors on a Hetrix account, to monitor "externally", from Hetrix probes around the world, you can add the free Server Monitor code to each VPS, which reports back to Hetrix CPU usage and other stats. And, the big plus, is that you can see it all from the Hetrix Dashboard.
Site24x7 is a rock solid option. The UI slightly old world, but not the feature set.
