About
Simple Observability is a hosted server monitoring platform that collects metrics, logs, and cron job results through a single agent installed with one command. The agent sends data outbound over HTTPS to the vendor cloud, and configuration is managed from a web UI rather than local config files.
The service includes metrics, log search, alerts, dashboards, mobile access, and built-in integrations for common server software and infrastructure components. The pricing page lists a free plan for one server with 50 metrics per server and low log volume, plus a paid plan at $3 per server per month.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is a capped but usable starter offer: one server with a modest metrics and log allowance, while the cheapest paid plan is $3 per server per month. Since the free tier gives roughly half of that plan’s practical capacity, it’s worth about $1.50/month; no credit card is required, and the offer is perpetual but limited.
What's included in the free tier
