Common Questions

Will the install script break my server?

No. The agent is a single binary that runs alongside your containers. It only reads from the Docker socket and sends metrics out. It changes nothing in your app configuration.

Does this replace Prometheus + Grafana?

For 95% of small teams, yes. Prometheus is a powerhouse, but setting it up takes days. BareAgent takes 15 seconds. We focus on 'Why did it crash?' not 'What was the average CPU last month?'.

Do you really support Kamal / Portainer / Coolify?

Absolutely. If your tool spawns standard Docker containers, we see them instantly. No special integration or plugins required.

What data do you actually collect? Is my code safe?

We never touch your code, logs, or secrets. We only collect telemetry data: CPU usage, RAM usage, and Container Start/Stop events. We are fully GDPR compliant.

How 'real-time' is the monitoring?

We stream data every 15 seconds. Most competitors aggregate to 60-second averages, smoothing out the very spikes that actually caused your crash. We don't hide the truth.

What happens when I grow past 10 servers?

We won't shut you off. We'll reach out to transition you to our Volume Plan. We love seeing our users scale.
