How It Works<br>From zero to monitored in under a minute

Copy the Install Command<br>Grab your unique install command from the dashboard. It includes your API key.

Paste on Your Server<br>Run the command via SSH. The agent installs itself and starts reporting instantly.

Relax & Get Alerts<br>Metrics flow in automatically. Set up alerts and sleep knowing you will be notified.

The agent script is open source. Review exactly what it collects before installing.

Datadog: $375/movsBoxWatch: $13/mo<br>Same metrics. 30x less cost. For 7 servers.

NEW

Uptime Monitoring<br>URL and service monitoring from your own infrastructure.<br>Probe HTTP endpoints, TCP ports, and TLS cert expiry from the BoxWatch agents you've already installed. Multi-region monitoring as a side effect of your existing deployment. Internal-network TCP checks (verify Redis is reachable from web-01) — something UptimeRobot and Better Stack literally cannot do. Linux-only via agent v2.1.

NEW

Process Monitoring<br>Watch the processes that matter, not just the host.<br>Track CPU, memory, and uptime for nginx, postgres, your queue workers — anything that runs as a named process. Get notified when a process dies, restarts, exceeds a CPU threshold, or eats too much memory. Aggregate by name across worker pools. Linux-only via agent v2.0. Included on every plan — 10 watched processes per server on Hobby, 50 on Pro, 100 on Team, unlimited on Scale.

NEW

Cron Heartbeat Monitoring<br>Monitor your scheduled jobs without an agent.<br>Get notified the moment a scheduled job misses its window, fails, hangs, or returns a non-zero exit code. Drop-in ping URLs for /start, /success, and /fail/:code work with any cron, systemd timer, Kubernetes CronJob, GitHub Actions workflow, or one-off script. Transition-based alerts mean no storms — you hear about state changes, not every cycle. Included on every plan — 20 checks on Hobby, 100 on Pro, unlimited on Team and Scale.

60-Second Setup<br>One curl command. No YAML configs. No agent ecosystem to learn. Just paste and go.

Custom API Endpoints<br>Create filtered views of your data. Each endpoint gets a unique URL. Pull into your own tools.

TV Dashboard Mode<br>Full-screen dashboards for your NOC or office wall. Dark mode. Auto-refresh. Just add a screen.

Slack, Discord & Email<br>Get instant notifications where your team already is. Server down? CPU spiking? Know immediately via webhook or email.

Uptime Badges<br>Shields.io-style badges for your README. Show off your 99.9% uptime. Auto-updates every 5 minutes.

Public Status Pages<br>Branded status pages for your customers. Show real-time uptime, incidents, and 90-day history. No extra tools needed.

Server Groups<br>Organize servers into named groups. Filter, compare, and manage by group. Perfect for agencies managing client infrastructure.

Disk Full Prediction<br>AI-powered disk usage forecasting. Get alerted days before your disk fills up, not after. Linear regression on 7 days of data.

Uptime SLA Tracking<br>Track 24h, 7d, 30d, and 90d uptime percentages. Maintenance windows excluded from calculations. Color-coded at a glance.

Server Comparison<br>Compare CPU, memory, or disk across all servers on one chart. Spot the outlier instantly.

Maintenance Windows<br>Schedule downtime that automatically suppresses alerts and excludes from uptime calculations. No more false alarms during updates.

Webhook Alerts<br>Send alerts to any URL. Custom headers for auth. Works with PagerDuty, Zapier, n8n, or your own scripts. Test button included.

Weekly Digests<br>Short weekly email summary: server health, uptime, alerts, disk warnings. Monthly detailed report also available. Toggle in settings.

Privacy-First Monitoring<br>BoxWatch only collects system performance metrics (CPU, memory, disk, network). We never access your files, logs, databases, or sensitive data. The agent script is open source so you can verify exactly what runs on your servers.
