Versions:
Beszel-agent 0.18.4, published by henrygd, is the companion daemon for Beszel, a lightweight server-monitoring platform designed to give administrators real-time visibility into the health and performance of Linux, Windows, and Docker hosts. Once deployed on each target machine, the agent quietly collects core metrics—CPU load, memory consumption, disk usage, network throughput, and detailed Docker container statistics—and streams them back to the central Beszel hub where the data is stored as searchable historical time series. The resulting dashboards provide a friendly web interface for spotting trends, setting threshold-based alerts, and initiating automatic backups, while OAuth authentication and multi-user support keep sensitive infrastructure data safely partitioned. Because configuration is reduced to a single YAML file and the binary is self-contained, sites can go from download to full coverage in minutes, making the agent equally attractive to hobbyists running a few Raspberry Pi containers and to DevOps teams overseeing dozens of production servers. The project has iterated rapidly: thirty numbered releases since inception have refined the protocol overhead, added API endpoints for external scripting, and tightened security defaults, yet the codebase remains compact enough to run on edge devices with minimal RAM. System administrators typically install beszel-agent via the Windows package manager winget or deploy it inside each Docker host so that every new container is automatically monitored without further manual steps. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads served through trusted Windows package sources such as winget that always supply the latest version and can be queued for batch installation alongside other applications.
