What Does Linux Server Monitoring Watch?
Linux server monitoring is the lighter-weight option for businesses that want visibility without full hands-on management. Our server performance monitoring tracks the agreed load, disk, mail, DNS, and service checks, then routes alerts to your nominated contacts with the affected service and available evidence.
This plan doesn't include active patching or fixes; it's purely visibility. If you want monitoring plus a team that actually resolves issues, our Linux server management plan includes both.
Signs You Need Server Monitoring
You already have someone who can fix issues, but nobody watching for them.
Your IP has landed on a blacklist before and you didn't know until customers complained.
You want a lower-cost layer of visibility before committing to full management.
You have a remote mail or database server that nothing currently watches.
Everything We Watch, 24/7
A wide net across the services that actually take a server down.
Load & Disk Monitoring
High load, disk space exhaustion, and crash indicators tracked continuously.
Spam & DOS Detection
Outbound spam and denial-of-service activity flagged before they affect your IP reputation.
Core Service Uptime
SSH, FTP, SMTP, DNS, Apache, Nginx, and Litespeed monitored around the clock.
Mail Service Monitoring
Exim, Dovecot, Qmail, and Postfix watched for delivery and queue issues.
Firewall Monitoring
Server firewall status tracked so configuration drift gets caught early.
Remote Server Support
Remote MySQL and mail servers can be added even if they're separate from your main host.
What Happens After Monitoring Is Enabled?
Define the checks
We confirm the services, ports, resource signals, server dependencies, contacts, and alert routes that belong in the monitoring scope.
Establish normal behavior
Checks and thresholds are aligned to the server so expected workload patterns do not create avoidable noise.
Detect and notify
When a configured condition is triggered, the alert identifies the affected check, time, server, and evidence available from monitoring.
Escalate or upgrade
Your team responds on monitoring-only plans. If you need us to investigate and repair the issue, a management or support plan adds that responsibility.
"We had a difficult urgent server migration due to an OVH issue. The team did an awesome job migrating us to a new server, other companies couldn't even solve the issue. Highly recommended for Linux server issues!"Lucas Lim, Trustpilot review, Singapore 🇸🇬
Linux Server Monitoring: Frequently Asked Questions
No. Monitoring watches your server and alerts you to problems. It does not include patching or hands-on fixes. For that, see our Linux server management plan, which includes monitoring plus active maintenance.
SSH, FTP, SMTP, DNS, Apache, Nginx, Litespeed, mail services like Exim, Dovecot, Qmail and Postfix, plus server load, disk space, and DOS attack indicators.
Yes, remote MySQL servers and mail servers can be added to the monitoring plan even if they're separate from your main web server.
On the monitoring-only plan, we notify the escalation contacts you provide with the affected check and available evidence. Your team performs the repair. Hands-on investigation and remediation require a server management plan or separate support service.
No. Monitoring detects and reports conditions within the configured scope; it does not make unapproved changes or guarantee that every failure mode will be detected. Active fixes are available through a management plan.
