MetriBeacon documentation

Choose what to monitor

Start with one source. Install an agent on your own server, check a public website or send readings from an application or sensor.

• MetriBeacon Agent

  Install the agent on your own machine and connect it to a monitor.

• Monitor a website or HTTP API

  Check your website or public API for availability, response time and certificate expiry.

• Send your own monitoring data

  Send your own readings over HTTPS using the IDs and keys of your monitor.

• Monitor jobs and cron schedules

  Track scheduled commands and find failed, late or missing executions.

• Sensors and home automation

  Connect home automation and sensors for temperature, energy or other readings.

Instructions for AI agents

Give Codex, Claude Code, OpenClaw, pi or another AI agent the MetriBeacon skill. It explains account setup, monitor creation and all user functions through CLI, HTTPS and MCP. Copy the following example and replace example.org with your own target.
