I'm working on Simple Observability[0], a platform for monitoring servers (metrics and logs). Think of it as a super simple alternative to the Prometheus + Grafana + Loki stack, designed for teams who just want to know “is my server healthy?” without setting up and maintaining a full observability pipeline.

It uses a lightweight, open-source agent[1] that collects data and pushes it to the backend, so it works behind firewalls and doesn’t require any open ports or scraping setup. The goal is to get useful monitoring and alerting with minimal effort: one command install and a UI-based configuration.

This is really cool.

For the landing page, I think it'd be useful to see an actual screenshot of the UI. Also, what I'm looking for in a solution like this is to receive this information passively — I don't want to need to proactively watch a dashboard. I would want to receive email alerts when, for example, I'm running out of disk space. It says on your landing page that you provide this feature, but it also says it's configurable. Everything on Grafana is configurable, but tbh it's a PITA to configure. It'd be nice if SO just worked OOTB wrt alerts.

		Thanks for the feedback. I'll make sure to add screenshots. For the alerts it is configurable pretty quickly (you just select what you want to monitor, a threshold value, and a notification channel). But I’ll look into having some sensible defaults built in so it works out of the box
