Sysmos combines distributed API health checks, Linux server observability, and a centralized monitoring dashboard. Its synthetic endpoint checks run across global regions and report latency, status, SSL, and timing details. Timing is divided into DNS, TCP, TLS handshake, server processing, and content transfer, with per-phase averages and maxima over one-hour, 24-hour, and seven-day periods. A flow builder chains API steps, extracts variables, and applies per-step assertions; flows can run on demand or on a schedule. For Linux servers, an eBPF agent for x86_64 and arm64 captures syscall, network, CPU, and memory data. The maker states CPU overhead is under 2%. Alert channels include Slack, Discord, PagerDuty, email, and generic webhooks. Workspaces provide admin, developer, and viewer roles, plus API keys for CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code. Sysmos lists API, Linux, and web platforms, and says setup can take under five minutes. Its Free plan includes 10 API monitors, five flows, one region, a 60-second minimum interval, five team members, one organization, and seven-day log retention. Team costs 29.00 USD per month; Business costs 99.00 USD per month. The maker says SOC 2 is in progress and EU and US data residency are available.
Who it is for
Sysmos is designed for small teams and presents its Free plan for solo developers and personal projects. It can suit teams needing API checks, Linux agent data, alert routing, and shared roles.
