Overview

Apache HertzBeat is an open source, real time monitoring and alerting system. It watches servers, operating systems, databases, message and application middleware, web sites, APIs, TLS certificates and fully custom endpoints, all without installing an agent, and raises alerts through a flexible threshold engine and more than thirty notification channels including email, Slack, Discord, Telegram and webhooks.

It suits teams who want a single, self hosted console to see the health of their infrastructure and services in real time, from one box to a fleet, without wiring together a full metrics stack.

Why the cloudimg image

The cloudimg image runs Apache HertzBeat as a dedicated non root service on a self contained single node, using embedded storage for both metadata and metric history so there is no external database to provision. It is secure by default: on first boot the image generates a unique administrator password and a unique token signing secret for the instance, replacing the well known upstream defaults, and writes the admin password to a root only file, so no two instances share a credential and nothing sensitive is baked into the image. The paired deployment guide covers first sign in, adding your first monitor and configuring alerts, and every deployment carries 24/7 support.
