MONIT

Complete monitoring on your own dedicated VM.

Servers, websites, network flow, syslog and 74 sensor types — collected by local and remote probes, visualised on drag/drop dashboards and wallboards, with multi-channel alerting and public status pages.

WHY MONIT

Built for MSPs who got tired of per-sensor billing.

01

Your Own Dedicated VM

Every customer runs on an isolated virtual machine — full performance, your data only, no noisy neighbours.

02

Local & Remote Probes

Monitor across sites and VPN tunnels with lightweight probes. Outbound-only HTTPS — no inbound firewall holes.

03

74 Sensor Types

Sensors across 13 categories: ping, HTTP/S, SNMP, SSL, services, databases, disk, and more — every one a real check.

04

Dashboards & Wallboards

Build drag/drop layout boards mixing graphs, readings and status tiles. Share public links or run a fullscreen office wallboard.

05

Multi-Channel Alerts

Email, SMS, Pushover, Pushbullet, webhooks and escalation policies — route alerts however your team works.

06

Public Status Pages

Branded, shareable status pages so your clients can see uptime at a glance — on your own domain.

PRICING

Simple, aggressive pricing.

Hosted on a dedicated VM, all features included. No add-on tiers, no surprise fees — just pick the size you need.

COLLECTORS

Flow & syslog collectors.

Beyond per-target sensors, every probe can also run network-wide collectors and receivers — so a single instance covers metrics, traffic flow and log streams together.

Flow / Traffic Collector

NetFlow v5
NetFlow v9
IPFIX
sFlow
  • Top talkers, protocols, ports & conversations
  • Per-collector byte / packet / flow totals
  • Listener health and last-packet tracking

Syslog Receiver

RFC 3164
RFC 5424
  • Severity, facility, host & keyword filtering
  • Parsed live message stream with source attribution
  • Listener health and last-message tracking
