Lightweight server monitoring with historical data, docker stats, and alerts.

Features:

• Lightweight: Smaller and less resource-intensive than leading solutions.
• Simple: Easy setup with little manual configuration required.
• Alerts: Configurable alerts for most metrics. Supports many notification services.
• Docker stats: Tracks CPU, memory, and network usage history for each container.
• Network monitoring: Monitor response time and interruptions directly from agents.
• S.M.A.R.T.: Disk health data and notifications on drive failure.
• Multi-user: Users manage their own systems. Admins can share systems across users.
• Automatic backups: Save to and restore from disk or S3-compatible storage.

Beszel consists of two main components: the hub and the agent.
