Nezha 2.2 on Ubuntu 24.04

This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.

Overview

Nezha is a lightweight, open-source, self-hosted server and website monitoring dashboard that delivers a private monitoring console within minutes of launching your instance. This AMI handles installation, security hardening, and initial configuration so you can focus on watching your infrastructure rather than building the tooling.

Nezha has no per-agent fees regardless of fleet size, and it runs as a single Go binary with embedded SQLite - no external database, message queue, or object store to provision or maintain.

Who Is This For?

Solo developers, small DevOps teams, MSPs, and startups who need a resource-efficient way to watch a fleet of servers and websites without standing up a heavyweight metrics stack. Whether you are monitoring a handful of instances or a mix of servers and public endpoints, Nezha scales from a single host to a multi-system overview with real-time status, historical charts, and alerting.

Application Stack

The Nezha dashboard is a single self-contained Go binary that serves both the web UI and the agent gRPC connection channel on port 8008, storing all state in an embedded SQLite database. It runs as a dedicated, unprivileged system user under systemd. Agents connect to the dashboard to report metrics, and service checks run from the dashboard itself. The current release available is Nezha 2.2.

Secure By Default

This appliance ships with no database and no administrator. On first boot, a one-shot service seeds a fresh datastore bound only to the loopback interface, rotates the administrator to a unique per-instance password, generates a per-instance agent connection secret, and only then exposes the dashboard - proving the weak default login no longer works before opening the port. Zero shared credentials across deployments eliminates the risk of credential reuse. The generated credentials are written to a root-only file.

Key Capabilities

• Clean web dashboard with a real-time multi-system overview
• Server metrics for CPU, memory, disk, and network via lightweight agents
• HTTP, TCP, and Ping service and website availability checks
• Configurable alerts and push notifications to your preferred channels
• Browser-based web terminal and scheduled tasks built in
• Embedded SQLite datastore - no external database required

Getting Started

Sign in as the administrator, add your first server with the dashboard's one-line agent installer, create HTTP, TCP, or Ping service checks for your websites, and configure notifications - then watch real-time and historical charts for every monitored system. For pricing details, refer to the Pricing tab on this listing page; the software charge covers ongoing 24/7 cloudimg support services.

Why Choose This Over Self-Deploy?

• No per-host fees: monitor your agents without incremental per-agent cost
• Zero external dependencies: no database server, message queue, or object store to run
• Full data ownership: all metrics stay in your AWS account
• Pre-hardened security: unique credentials generated per instance with no default admin ever exposed
• Verified working on first boot, paired with a step-by-step deployment guide
• Ongoing 24/7 support from cloudimg for upgrades, agent rollout, and troubleshooting
