FAQ

Do I need an agent to monitor a website? No — website monitors (http/https/ping/tcp/dns/ssl) run directly against your target on a schedule. Agents are for host and container-level infrastructure metrics.

Can I self-host MonSPHERE? Yes — the entire stack, including the database, deploys via one Docker Compose file. See Deployment.

What happens if I exceed my plan's limits? Creating a monitor, agent, or user past your plan's limit returns a real 403 quota_exceeded — nothing silently breaks, but creation is blocked until you upgrade or free up capacity.

Is Kubernetes support available? Monitoring workloads running on Kubernetes is available today via the agent. Deploying MonSPHERE's own control plane onto Kubernetes via Helm is planned, not shipped — see the Roadmap.

Which integrations actually work today? Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Telegram, PagerDuty, Opsgenie, Webhook, and Email are real and working. Jira and ServiceNow are catalog entries not yet wired up. See Integrations.

What SDKs exist? Go and TypeScript, both real. Python, Java, and C# are planned, not published yet — see the Developer Center.
