Nezha is a multi-server infrastructure monitor and website uptime monitor that provides a centralized dashboard for tracking real-time resource utilization and system health. It functions as a protocol server and alerting engine, utilizing remote agents to collect telemetry data across multiple operating systems.
The system distinguishes itself with a web-based remote administration interface, allowing users to execute maintenance commands and manage scheduled tasks on remote hosts via a browser-based terminal. It also integrates a Model Context Protocol server to provide a secure HTTP entry point for external clients to invoke internal tools and services.
The project covers a broad capability surface including multi-protocol service probing via HTTP, TCP, and ICMP to detect downtime and certificate expiration. It features a multi-channel alerting engine for push notifications, time-series data aggregation for metric storage optimization, and session security through rotating signing keys and traffic encryption.
The product includes automated tools for the deployment of both the central management dashboards and the monitoring agents across various operating systems.
