What problem it solves

Server operators need a straightforward way to view system and container metrics over time, track network and disk health, and receive notifications about important conditions. Beszel addresses this with a web dashboard, agents that collect metrics, configurable alerts, and support for multiple users and authentication methods.

Key features

• System and container metrics — Monitor host resources and Docker or Podman containers, including CPU, memory, disk, network, and load metrics. Container history covers CPU, memory, and network usage.

• Alerts and health monitoring — Configure alerts for most metrics and use supported notification services. The platform also monitors network interruptions, response time, and S.M.A.R.T. disk health with notifications on drive failure.

• Multi-user access and authentication — Users can manage their own systems while administrators share systems across users. OAuth2 and OIDC providers are supported, and password authentication can be disabled.

  Source: README

• Simple setup and backups — The project provides a friendly web interface, requires little manual configuration, and is ready to use out of the box. Automatic backups can be saved to disk or S3-compatible storage and restored from those locations.

Who it may suit

This project may suit server operators and administrators who want to monitor multiple systems or containers, review historical metrics, and configure notifications. It may also suit teams that need multi-user management, delegated system access, and OAuth2 or OIDC authentication.

Topics to discuss

• Which additional notification services or alert workflows would be most useful for the community?

• How should historical metrics be organized and retained for different deployment sizes?

• Which integrations or API capabilities would help users incorporate monitoring data into their existing workflows?
