tori is a TUI remote server monitoring tool without the infrastructure. A single binary and an SSH connection — metrics, logs, and alerts for your Docker hosts.
tori has two parts. The agent runs on your server collecting metrics, tailing logs, and evaluating alerts 24/7. The client runs on your machine and connects to the remote agent through an SSH tunnel to a Unix socket — no HTTP server, no open ports.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Host metrics — CPU, memory, disk, network, swap, load averages.
- Docker container monitoring — status, stats, health checks, restart tracking.
Remote log tailing with regex search, log level filtering, match highlighting, and date/time - filtering.
- Alerting with configurable rules, email (SMTP), and webhook notifications.
- SQLite storage with configurable retention.
- Multi-server support — monitor multiple remote hosts from one terminal.
- Single binary, zero runtime dependencies.
- No exposed ports — all communication over SSH.
