An alternative to Nagios, Icinga and Zabbix without the configuration overhead

Middle Monitor's agent collects CPU, memory, disk and network metrics automatically once installed, so the common case does not require writing per-check definitions by hand.

Nagios, Icinga and Zabbix are proven, self-hostable and endlessly extensible. If you need full on-premise control or have an established library of custom check plugins, that flexibility is real and hard to replace.

Metrics without per-check definitions

Install the binary agent with one command on Linux or macOS. It runs in the background and reports system metrics on a configurable interval, 60 seconds by default — no check definition files, no per-metric configuration.

The check types you actually configure

HTTP and HTTPS with expected keywords and latency thresholds, ICMP ping, SQL connection checks, SSL certificate expiry, and SNMP. Checks are executed periodically by the Middle Monitor backend, so nothing has to be installed on the target.

Alerting built in, not bolted on

Slack, email, Jira Service Management, WhatsApp and SMS, or a generic JSON webhook. Each channel can be toggled without touching configuration files. Alerts fire only after N consecutive bad results, so a single blip does not page anyone.

Applications in the same place as infrastructure

The same platform holds distributed traces, application errors and profiling. A host CPU spike and the latency regression it caused are visible together instead of in two different tools.

Frequently asked questions
