DumbMonit¶
Simple monitoring for homelabs and small teams. One container, one IP address to type in, useful graphs and alerts in under a minute.
Work in progress
DumbMonit is under active development; the current image
(ghcr.io/noekan/dumbmonit:latest) is an alpha for early testers. Expect
rough edges and breaking changes until the first release.
DumbMonit reads the network like a weather bulletin: the home page states the sky in one sentence ("Clear skies." or "2 advisories, 1 unreachable.") and lists what needs you, before anything else. Severities follow the meteorological ladder (info → advisory → warning), predictions are forecasts, and maintenance windows are scheduled.

What it watches¶
| Source | What you get |
|---|---|
| SNMP v1 / v2c / v3 | Switches, routers, NAS, UPS, printers. Five profiles ship with the product and are applied automatically from the device's sysObjectID. A network scan adds everything that answers in one go. |
| Proxmox VE | Nodes, virtual machines and containers, storages, cluster quorum, and the age of the last successful backup per machine. |
| Proxmox Backup Server | Datastore usage and fill-up forecast, deduplication, age and verification of each machine's last snapshot, failed tasks, garbage collection. |
| Synology DSM | Volumes, disks and their SMART health, temperature, load, through the NAS web API. |
| Linux, macOS, FreeBSD and Windows agent | CPU, memory, disks, network, services, containers and uptime of machines that do not speak SNMP, plus temperatures, disk health (SMART) and ZFS pools where the machine exposes them. One command to install. |
| Services | HTTP(S), TCP port, DNS, ping and TLS certificate expiry, Uptime Kuma style, with a history bar and availability percentage. |
What runs¶
| Container | Role | Footprint |
|---|---|---|
dumbmonit |
Collection, API, alerting, web UI, and the embedded VictoriaMetrics for time series | ~40 MB RAM + the VictoriaMetrics budget (256 MB by default) |
One container, one volume: the server starts VictoriaMetrics from the same
image, and configuration and state live in an embedded SQLite database. There
is no database container. An external VictoriaMetrics can be used instead
(DUMBMONIT_VM_URL).
About the name
DumbMonit was called EzyMonit until September 2026. Commands, environment
variables, image names and paths were renamed with it; the old
EZYMONIT_* variables and ezym_ agent tokens are still accepted. See
Upgrading.
DumbMonit is 100% open source under the Apache 2.0 license, dependencies included: no feature is held back for a paid edition.
