MonitorFree Documentation
How every feature actually works, in depth — not just the marketing page version. If something here doesn't match what you're seeing in the dashboard, let us know.
Getting started
Sign up, add a server, install the agent (Linux or Windows), see your first metrics.
Monitoring & alerts
What's collected, how thresholds work, and where alerts get delivered.
External monitoring
HTTP/TCP/heartbeat checks, SSL & domain expiry, blacklist monitoring.
Remote actions & SSH
Reboot, restart a service, tail a log, or open a full terminal — from the dashboard.
Backups & restore
File backups, database dumps, and restoring to a brand-new server if one dies.
Status pages
A public page for your uptime, without exposing anything else about the server.
Teams & permissions
Share servers with teammates without handing over full account access.
Plans & billing
What's on Free vs. Pro vs. Business, and how add-on hosts work.
Quick facts
- The agent is a small Go binary — no Python/Node/Java runtime required on your server.
- Metrics push on an interval (not pull) — your server never needs an open inbound port for MonitorFree to work.
- Backups go to your own S3-compatible bucket — MonitorFree never stores a copy of your files or database.
- Nothing here is a paid add-on outside the plan comparison — see Plans & billing for exactly what's gated.
