Simple Observability

Simple Observability: Server Monitoring Made Simple

Modern observability often requires a complex puzzle of agents, databases, and visualization layers. Simple Observability replaces that complexity with a unified, plug-and-play platform where metrics and logs live together—managed entirely through a web interface. No configuration files, no manual wiring, and no inbound firewall holes required.

Why Simple Observability?

• One-command setup: Deploy our open-source agent (simob) in seconds. Everything is pre-configured to start sending data to your dashboard immediately.
• Unified metrics & logs: Stop jumping between tools. Correlate system performance with NGINX, Apache, or Systemd Journal logs in a single view.
• Zero inbound ports: Security by design. The agent strictly pushes data outbound via HTTPS (port 443). Your firewall stays completely closed.
• UI-driven configuration: Toggle data sources (CPU, Disk, Memory, Swap, Network) and configure alerts through the web interface. No YAML wrestling required.
• Open-source and lightweight agent: Built for performance with a minimal footprint.

Three Pillars of Simple Observability

1. Unified Metrics & Logs

Both your metrics and logs are hosted on the same platform. By providing a single home for all your observability data, we eliminate the need for you to set up, manage, or sync separate systems for data storage and visualization.

2. Actionable Alerting

Stay ahead of downtime with zero-effort configuration. Use our pre-built templates for common issues like “Low Disk Space” or “High Load,” and receive notifications through the channels you already use: Slack, Discord, Email, SMS, or Webhooks.

3. Built-in Cron Monitoring

Never let a background job fail in silence again. Simple Observability tracks your scheduled tasks and alerts you instantly if a job fails, runs late, or doesn’t run at all. No extra scripts or third-party tools required.

Getting Started in 30 Seconds

Simple Observability works on all major Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Alpine) and Windows. To start monitoring, run the following command:
