Setting Up Monitoring

Monitoring agent

The optional monitoring agent provides:

• Continuous resource tracking
• Historical metrics and graphs
• Detailed performance data
• Basis for alert rules

Installing the agent

1. Go to Monitoring tab
2. Click "Install Agent"
3. Wait for installation (1-2 minutes)
4. Agent starts collecting metrics immediately

Creating alert rules

Set up alerts:

1. Go to Monitoring > Alerts
2. Click "Add Rule"
3. Choose metric (CPU, memory, disk)
4. Set threshold and duration
5. Select notification channel

Notification channels

Configure where to receive alerts:

• Email: Direct email notifications
• Webhook: POST to your URL
• Test channels before relying on them

Keeping metric history

Live gauges show the current moment. To keep a record on the server itself:

1. Open the server's Monitor tab and find Metric history
2. Expand Storage and export settings and tick Keep metric history
3. Set the Server data directory that holds the samples
4. Set Retention (days) so the history does not grow without limit
5. Choose Save history settings

CPU, memory, disk and load samples are stored on the server, following the monitoring interval configured for the agent. You can choose that interval before the agent is installed, and the interval you pick is what actually runs.

Forwarding samples elsewhere. Add an Optional HTTP JSON receiver and the server POSTs each sample as JSON to that address. The receiver URL is encrypted in the app and kept in the agent's private configuration on the server.

Exporting. Use Export JSON to pull the synced samples out of the app for your own analysis.
