Hey HN I’ve been building Mapnitor, a lightweight server monitoring platform focused on speed, simplicity, and no bloat. It’s designed for small teams, sysadmins, and hosting providers who just want quick visibility — without setting up Zabbix, Grafana, or a huge stack. What it does: Uptime & latency checks (Ping, TCP, HTTP) Clean dashboard with per-node performance view Lightweight agent (optional) — or just add targets directly Instant history and analytics view What it doesn’t do: No complex dashboards, plugins, or configs. No heavy setup or long onboarding — just add IPs and go. Why I built it: I manage multiple servers across clients and hosting environments — I was tired of setting up full-stack monitoring tools for small cases. Mapnitor started as a personal script, then evolved into a minimal SaaS that can handle 20+ devices from different companies in seconds. It’s still in early beta, so I’d love feedback from sysadmins, hosting engineers, or anyone dealing with uptime monitoring. Would love to hear: What features matter most for small infra setups? Should I focus next on alerting (email/Slack) or integrations? |
