What is it?

Beszel is a server monitoring platform built around two parts: a hub, a web application built on PocketBase that serves the dashboard, and an agent that runs on each system you want to watch and sends its metrics to the hub. It covers host CPU, memory, disk usage and I/O, network, load average, temperatures, fan speed, GPU usage and power draw, and battery charge, along with the status and metrics of running Docker or Podman containers.

Beyond live views, it keeps historical data, sends configurable alerts for most metrics through many notification services, and reports S.M.A.R.T. disk health and ZFS pool status. Agents can also check response time and interruptions for network endpoints. Multi-user support lets users manage their own systems while admins share systems across accounts, and OAuth/OIDC login is available with the option to disable password auth.
