# Opservo

> An AI ops engineer for your Linux servers. Opservo is an AI infrastructure monitoring and remediation platform for Linux servers. A single Go agent installs with one command in about 30 seconds, opens no inbound ports and is read-only by default. Within five minutes it inventories every service, container, app, domain, port and log source, scores each server 0–100 with the explainable Opservo Health Standard, explains problems in plain English, forecasts disk-fills and error spikes, and can fix issues with one click or through pre-approved autonomous policies. It also runs external uptime checks, on-call escalation, incident management and public status pages.

## Key facts

- Install: one command, `curl -sSL https://api.getopservo.com/install.sh | sudo bash`, about 30 seconds; first insight in under 5 minutes; no configuration.
- Agent: a single static Go binary under 15 MB; read-only by default; no inbound ports (all traffic is outbound HTTPS, HMAC-signed); auto-updates are Ed25519-signed.
- Remote actions and AI fixes are opt-in per server and every command is audited; a fleet update never enables them.
- Health score: the Opservo Health Standard rates each server 0–100 deterministically across Performance, Security, Storage, Reliability, Maintenance, Network and Configuration; every lost point names the rule, threshold, current value and fix.
- Auto-discovered: systemd, Docker, PM2, Supervisor programs (e.g. Laravel queue workers), nginx/apache vhosts and SSL expiry, listening ports, processes, Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Laravel/WordPress/Node/Django/FastAPI/PHP apps.
- AI: Claude via AWS Bedrock; AI only runs on demand and every call is shown with its cost; bring-your-own-key is supported for Anthropic, Bedrock, OpenAI, Azure, Gemini and OpenRouter.
- External monitoring: HTTP/API/TCP/ping/DNS/domain checks, SSL-expiry alerts, cron heartbeats, SLA tracking, public status pages, on-call rotations and escalation.
- Integrations: Slack (alerts + /opservo ChatOps), Discord, Telegram, email, webhooks, PagerDuty, OpsGenie, Prometheus metrics endpoint, Grafana data source, GitHub deploys, and a read-only MCP server (https://api.getopservo.com/mcp) for Claude, Cursor and VS Code.
- Pricing: Free for 2 servers; Growth ₹999 per server per month (about $12); Agency ₹799 per server per month (about $9.50) with a 10-server minimum. Billed in INR. Annual plans give two months free. No plan needs a sales call or a quote.
- Data handling: raw log lines are never stored, only normalized clusters; usernames and IPs in SSH events are masked by the agent; secrets are encrypted at rest.

## Who it is for

Teams and agencies running 2–100+ Linux servers without a dedicated SRE: SaaS startups, digital agencies, MSPs and IT teams on AWS, GCP, Azure, DigitalOcean, Hetzner or bare metal.

Supported platforms: Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, RHEL family) on bare metal, VMs or cloud; Kubernetes clusters via a separate read-only in-cluster agent.

## Pricing

- Free: ₹0 forever (up to 2 servers; 200 AI credits/month, no credit card)
- Growth: ₹999 (about $12, billed in INR; USD is approximate) per server per month (no server cap; 200 pooled AI credits per server, remote actions, autonomous fixes, on-call, status pages; ₹9,990/server/year annually (about $119))
- Agency: ₹799 (about $9.5, billed in INR; USD is approximate) per server per month (10-server minimum (₹7,990/month floor, about $95); 250 pooled AI credits per server, multi-tenant, white-label status pages, priority support; ₹7,990/server/year annually (about $95))
- No plan is "contact for pricing" or quote-based: every plan, including Agency, has a public per-server price at https://getopservo.com/pricing, at any fleet size.
