Show HN: Mapnitor – Lightweight server monitoring for Linux and Windows

5 hours ago (mapnitor.com)

Hey HN

I’ve been building Mapnitor, a lightweight server monitoring platform focused on speed, simplicity, and no bloat. It’s designed for small teams, sysadmins, and hosting providers who just want quick visibility — without setting up Zabbix, Grafana, or a huge stack.

What it does:

Uptime & latency checks (Ping, TCP, HTTP)

Clean dashboard with per-node performance view

Lightweight agent (optional) — or just add targets directly

Instant history and analytics view

What it doesn’t do:

No complex dashboards, plugins, or configs.

No heavy setup or long onboarding — just add IPs and go.

Why I built it: I manage multiple servers across clients and hosting environments — I was tired of setting up full-stack monitoring tools for small cases. Mapnitor started as a personal script, then evolved into a minimal SaaS that can handle 20+ devices from different companies in seconds.

It’s still in early beta, so I’d love feedback from sysadmins, hosting engineers, or anyone dealing with uptime monitoring.

Would love to hear:

What features matter most for small infra setups?

Should I focus next on alerting (email/Slack) or integrations?
