Simple Observability
Server Monitoring Made Simple
Simple Observability is a hosted server and website monitoring platform. It uses a lightweight, open-source agent that you install with a single command on Linux or Windows servers. The agent pushes metrics and logs outbound over HTTPS to the cloud, where you view everything in a single web dashboard. The platform includes pre-built charts for common services (NGINX, Apache, PHP-FPM, Memcached), and supports system logs, cron job monitoring, and website/API uptime checks. Alerting is available via Slack, Discord, or email. The company offers a free tier and paid plans starting at $3 per server per month. Data is stored in the EU on standard plans.
