OpsDash review
A low-cost Linux monitoring option with broad integrations and a focused scope.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
OpsDash is a self-hosted monitoring platform for servers, services, databases, Docker containers, and application metrics. It is aimed at teams that want focused infrastructure visibility, particularly on Linux servers, with web dashboards and a lightweight, zero-dependency agent. Pre-configured dashboards cover servers, services, and databases, while process monitoring, automatic discovery of disks and network interfaces, and configurable warning and critical thresholds support day-to-day operations.
The published plans show a simple freemium structure. Free is always available at USD 0 per server per month with annual billing and includes monitoring for servers and services. Standard costs USD 1 per server per month with annual billing and adds email support and monitoring for any number of services. A 30-day free trial is also available. The pricing is suited to smaller monitoring budgets, though the documented 300-host limit narrows its fit for larger environments.
OpsDash has useful ecosystem coverage for a focused monitoring product. It supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Apache, Nginx, HAProxy, Redis, memcached, Docker, PHP-FPM, StatsD, and Graphite. Custom metrics can be sent through StatsD and Graphite interfaces, while alerts can route to email, Slack, Mattermost, PagerDuty, OpsGenie, VictorOps, and webhooks. The platform supports Linux distributions including Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Amazon Linux, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, Raspbian, and Arch, with Windows agent support documented. Choose OpsDash for low-cost, agent-based monitoring across Linux servers and common services; teams needing broader monitoring methods or more than 300 hosts should consider alternatives.
