## What it is
Beszel is a lightweight, self-hosted server monitoring platform with a hub/agent architecture built on PocketBase. It tracks CPU, memory, disk, network, and Docker/Podman container metrics with historical data, configurable alerts, multi-user support, OAuth, and automatic backups.

## Use cases
- monitor cpu and memory usage of my homelab servers
- track docker container stats with historical data
- get alerts when disk usage is high
- lightweight alternative to netdata or grafana
- self-hosted server monitoring dashboard
- monitor multiple servers from one web interface

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, low-resource monitoring solution that is quick to set up
- you need Docker/Podman container metrics alongside host metrics
- you want multi-user access, OAuth, and alerts without complex configuration

## When to avoid
- you need full observability with logs, traces, and application-level metrics
- you require Prometheus-compatible exporters or a large plugin ecosystem
- you need monitoring for Kubernetes clusters at scale

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: monitoring, alerting, self-hosted, analytics
- domain: monitoring, self-hosted
