What it does for you

A centralized dashboard displaying the real-time operational health of all your servers: CPU usage, memory utilization, disk space, network traffic, and container metrics, both in real time and over past weeks. It alerts you when storage fills up, CPU loads spike, or a server drops offline before users experience downtime. The console runs on a server we host for you in Egypt.

Alternative to

If you are looking for an alternative to Datadog or New Relic for infrastructure monitoring, this replaces:

  • Datadog Infrastructure Monitoring.
  • New Relic Infrastructure Monitoring.
  • Logging manually into individual servers to check disk space and resource health.

What you get

  • Unified server dashboard displaying all infrastructure nodes in one console.
  • CPU, memory, and load average tracking per server.
  • Disk metrics: Used storage space, read/write I/O speeds, and drive capacity forecasts.
  • Network bandwidth: Inbound and outbound throughput graphs.
  • Container monitoring: CPU, memory, and network utilization per active Docker container.
  • Hardware sensors: Thermal temperature readings and GPU metrics where supported.
  • Historical telemetry with visual time-series charts for every resource metric.
  • Configurable alerting triggered when CPU, RAM, disk, or thermal thresholds are exceeded.
  • Multi-channel alert routing: Email notifications, Telegram alerts, and webhook endpoints.
  • Ultra-lightweight background agent with negligible system overhead.
  • Multi-user access control with granular sharing permissions for specific server groups.

Built on Beszel, a lightweight open-source server monitoring tool.

Arabic and hosting in Egypt

  • Arabic: Parts of the dashboard support Arabic with remaining screens in English; server labels and notes entered in Arabic render natively.
  • Hosting: We host the monitoring console for you in Egypt, allowing you to monitor servers located anywhere: locally in Egypt or in public cloud regions (infrastructure design).

From ready-made to built for you

Who it is for

Frequently asked questions

Is it an alternative to Datadog or New Relic?

Yes, for infrastructure and container performance monitoring and threshold alerting. Application performance monitoring (APM) and distributed tracing are outside its scope; for application errors, see error tracking.

What is the difference between it and "Uptime Monitoring and Status Pages"?

Beszel monitors internal hardware vitals: CPU, RAM, and disk utilization. Uptime monitoring and status pages test your public websites from the outside to ensure they respond, publishing customer-facing uptime pages. Many companies use both.

Can it monitor servers located outside Egypt?

Yes, the lightweight agent functions on any internet-connected server that can reach the monitoring console.

Our limits

  • It monitors physical servers, virtual machines, and Docker containers; it does not perform in-code APM tracing or centralized log aggregation.
  • The software is from its developer (Beszel); our role is hosting, configuration, operation, and support.
