Homelab monitoring
without the enterprise pain.
Skip the complexity of tools like Zabbix and LibreNMS. ACS Monitor runs on your own hardware, deploys in minutes, and gives you real visibility without hours of setup.
Built for production MSP environments, now available for homelabs.
No credit card required. Free forever for up to 100 devices and monitors combined.
What you can monitor at home
From your router to your Raspberry Pi cluster, ACS Monitor covers the full stack of a modern homelab.
Network gear
Routers, managed switches, and access points via SNMP. Track bandwidth utilisation, port status, error counts, and connected client counts across your home network.
Servers and VMs
Proxmox hosts, TrueNAS, Unraid, and any Linux or Windows box. Monitor CPU, RAM, disk health, and thermals. Keep an eye on your hypervisor and the VMs running on it.
Raspberry Pi cluster
ARM64 native support means ACS Monitor runs on your Pi nodes and monitors them too. Track CPU temperature, memory usage, and the services running across your Pi cluster.
Web services
HTTP and HTTPS service checks for your self-hosted apps — Jellyfin, Nextcloud, Home Assistant, and anything else. Track uptime, response times, and SSL certificate expiry.
DNS and networking
Pi-hole, AdGuard Home, local DNS resolvers. Verify that DNS resolution is working, monitor query response times, and get alerted if your ad-blocking or DNS services go down.
UPS and power
Battery levels, load percentage, and runtime remaining from network-connected UPS devices via SNMP. Know before your homelab loses power.
Why homelabbers switch to ACS Monitor
Built for production environments, simple enough for homelabs. No learning curve, no weekend-long setup projects.
Runs on a Raspberry Pi
Lightweight enough for a Pi 4 or Pi 5. ARM64 native, no x86 hardware required. Try getting Zabbix running on a Pi in under 10 minutes — with ACS Monitor, it just works.
100 devices free forever
No trial, no time limit. The free tier covers most home setups with room to spare. Device and service monitor counts are combined — so 60 devices plus 40 monitors uses your full 100.
Your data stays home
Fully self-hosted. Your monitoring data never leaves your network. The only external communication is periodic license validation and anonymous usage heartbeats — no actual monitoring data is transmitted.
Easier than everything else
No dependency rabbit holes. No PHP version conflicts. No database tuning. One command installs everything, or use our ISO installer to boot a dedicated monitoring appliance from scratch. You'll be adding devices before your coffee gets cold.
Built-in tools you'll actually use
No plugins, no config files, no hours of setup. Everything works out of the box from the moment you log in.
Custom dashboards
25 widget types. Build an at-a-glance view of your entire homelab — bandwidth graphs, device health, service status, and more. Share dashboards via link without requiring login.
Smart alerting
Email, SMS, Slack, or webhook notifications. Consecutive failure thresholds prevent false alarms from brief network blips — no more 3 AM alerts because your router rebooted for 30 seconds.
Network diagnostics
Ping, traceroute, port scan, DNS lookup, SSL check, and WHOIS — all built in. Troubleshoot connectivity issues from your monitoring dashboard without opening a separate terminal.
Supported platforms
ACS Monitor installs on the Linux distributions homelabbers actually use — including ARM64 for Raspberry Pi.
- AlmaLinux 9 / Rocky Linux 9 / RHEL 9
- Ubuntu 22.04+
- Debian 12+
- Raspberry Pi OS 12+ (ARM64)
Prefer a full appliance? Our ISO installer includes the operating system — burn it to a USB drive and boot any spare hardware into a dedicated monitoring server.
Simple, transparent pricing
Most homelabs run entirely on the free tier — no subscriptions, no limits, no surprises.
Why not just use Zabbix or LibreNMS?
If you've ever tried setting up Zabbix or LibreNMS, you already know the problem.
Powerful tools — but for most homelabs, they're overkill.
The pain of traditional tools
- Hours of initial setup — databases, web servers, agents, dependencies
- Templates and host groups to configure for every device type
- Dated interfaces that feel like admin panels from 2010
- Major version upgrades that break your existing configuration
- Ongoing maintenance — database tuning, dependency conflicts, manual updates
Why ACS Monitor
- One command or ISO — monitoring running in under 10 minutes
- Auto-discovery finds your devices — no manual host configuration
- Modern, clean interface built for speed and clarity
- Updates applied from the admin panel — no manual package management
- SNMP, service checks, dashboards, alerting, and diagnostics — all in one
