Beszel serves as the perfect middle ground between Uptime Kuma and a Grafana + Prometheus setup for my servers. Although it takes a couple of extra commands to deploy Beszel, the app can pull a lot more system metrics than Uptime Kuma. On top of that, it can generate detailed graphics using CPU usage, memory consumption, network bandwidth, system temps, and other historical data, which is far beyond Uptime Kuma’s capabilities. Meanwhile, Beszel is a lot easier to set up than the Grafana and Prometheus combo, as you don’t have to tinker with tons of configuration files and API tokens just to get the monitoring server up and running. //
Beszel does things differently, as it’s compatible with Linux, macOS, and Windows, with the developer planning a potential FreeBSD release in the future. //
Beszel uses a client + server setup for pulling metrics and monitoring your workstation.
