What is monitee-agent?
Monitee Agent is a self-hosted server monitoring agent that runs on your servers and exposes hardware metrics (CPU, memory, disks, network, processes, Docker containers, systemd/Windows services) via a GraphQL API. It is designed to work with the Monitee mobile app (Android) for monitoring from your phone. The agent can be installed via Docker, Docker Compose, Debian package, Windows installer, or command line on Linux, Windows, Unraid, TrueNAS, and Home Assistant. It monitors CPU load and temperature, memory usage, network statistics, disk space and SMART data, Docker container status, and systemd/Windows services. It includes a file browser, log reader (files, systemd journal, Windows events), and sends notifications via ntfy, webhooks, or MQTT to Home Assistant. The agent announces itself on the local network via DNS-SD for easy discovery by the mobile app.
