Zero-Config Log & Metric Alerting Agent
A lightweight, single-binary agent designed specifically for homelabs and SMBs that monitors disk space and tails logs for specific regex patterns. It bridges the gap between simple uptime monitors and complex enterprise log stacks by sending alerts directly to Discord/Telegram without requiring a database backend.

Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity
- “I put like 20+ hours in zabbix and still feels really clunky.”
- “grafana and prometheus are powerful but they are the opposite of simple for someone who just wants alerts when stuff breaks.”
- “dont require you to learn prometheus query language just to see if your disk is full.”
- “yea I have both kuma and beszel, but neither does logs as far as I know?”
- “way lighter than standing up a full log stack just for auth alerts.”
- “if you want to skip the manual docker setup you can also deploy graylog through something like elestio which handles the whole stack for you including the mongodb and elasticsearch dependencies”
