Managed monitoring

Managed Linux server monitoring without running the monitoring stack.

Nova is built for teams that want Linux host metrics, logs, dashboards, alerts, and Grafana access without operating Grafana, Mimir, Loki, tenant routing, or collector configuration themselves.

What managed monitoring means in Nova

Nova provides a hosted control plane for enrolling Linux collectors, applying tenant limits, routing telemetry, and opening Grafana in the correct organization through OIDC SSO.

The goal is not to replace every Grafana Cloud feature. Nova V1 keeps the scope tight so teams can get useful Linux host coverage quickly and avoid operating the underlying monitoring stack.

  • Create a tenant and users in NovaUI.
  • Enroll Linux collectors with one-time install tokens.
  • Ship host metrics and logs through managed gateways.
  • Open prebuilt Grafana dashboards with tenant-aware access.

What Nova monitors

Nova V1 focuses on practical host-level telemetry: CPU, memory, disk usage, disk I/O, network I/O, uptime, Alloy health, systemd journal logs, and selected file log paths.

Docker metrics and Docker logs are optional per node. Windows monitoring, Kubernetes monitoring, traces, custom Alloy configs, and custom dashboard support are outside the V1 scope.

How onboarding works

During the private beta, Proxima confirms the initial host count, telemetry needs, and support expectations before provisioning a tenant.

After that, an admin creates a collector, runs the generated installer on the Linux host, and confirms that the host appears online in the Nova control plane and Grafana dashboards.
