FAQ
Can I use it if I don't know servers well?
Yes, OSPREY is built for people who don't know servers well. It tells you what stopped, why, and what to do first, without jargon.
What problems does it tell me about?
It tells you right away when a service or a Docker container stops or stops responding properly. It also warns you early when memory or disk looks likely to run out.
How is it different from a monitoring tool?
It doesn't stop at the alert: it also tells you the cause and how to fix it.
Which servers does it work on?
It works on Ubuntu servers running in the cloud. It installs on the server itself, so it doesn't matter which cloud provider you use.
Does data from my server leave it?
Only the data needed to understand your server's state and the cause leaves it. Anything that looks like a password or key is masked before it leaves the server.
