What DumbMonit watches
A small binary installed on the machine to monitor. It measures CPU, memory, disks, network, services and containers — and, where the machine exposes them, temperatures, disk health, ZFS pools and KVM virtual machines — then pushes its readings to the DumbMonit server over HTTPS, on an encrypted channel of its own (see Agent channel security).
Typical use. Linux, Windows, Raspberry Pi, Hyper-V host

How it connects
No account needed.
Network ports to open

Setup steps: Install the agent on the machine
In DumbMonit, add a monitor and pick Server with the agent, then choose how the machine reaches the server: directly, or through the relay of a remote site behind a firewall.
An enrollment token (its secret starts with dmon_; the token is listed as tok_… afterwards) is shown once, with the install command ready to copy for Linux/macOS, Windows and Docker.
Run that install command on the machine, with elevated rights (sudo on Linux and macOS, an elevated PowerShell on Windows).
The page waits for the first report (a few seconds), then lets you name the machine, file it in a folder and place it at a site, on the spot.
Optional, for Docker: if the agent runs under a dedicated user, add that user to the "docker" group and restart the agent.
usermod -aG docker dumbmonitFor a fleet (a playbook, a machine image), tick Several machines with this command; a whole Windows domain goes through the Active Directory kit, offered on the same page.
Heads-up. The agent contacts the server, never the other way round: no port needs to be opened on the monitored machine.
