~39KB
39KB agent. Zero dependencies. Zero supply chain. Zero inherited CVEs.
Infrastructure monitoring in ~61KB — agent + web dashboard.
LinuxThe problem
Modern monitoring stacks require 400MB+ agents, gigabytes of runtime dependencies, and cloud subscriptions that ensure your infrastructure data leaves your network. Every dependency is a potential CVE. Every cloud connection is a data exfiltration vector. Setup takes weeks.
The solution
OmniWatch is a 39KB agent and 22KB dashboard that monitors CPU, RAM, disk, GPU, temperature, and more. No dependencies. No cloud. Deploy to 50 servers in a day: scp the binary, run it. Multi-server dashboard with HTTP Basic Auth and real-time polling.
Why Bare-Metal Matters
A monitoring agent runs on every server in your infrastructure. If that agent has vulnerabilities, every server is exposed. OmniWatch has zero dependencies — there is nothing to exploit. The 39KB binary is fully auditable by a single engineer in an afternoon.

| Data in cloud | Never | Required | Optional |
| Cost (50 srv/year) | $15K one-time | $18K+/year | "Free" + $96K DevOps |
Use Cases
Enterprise Infrastructure
Monitor hundreds of servers with sub-1MB memory footprint per node. No cloud subscription. No data leaving your network. One-time license.
Air-Gapped Environments
Monitoring in classified or regulated networks where cloud connectivity is forbidden. OmniWatch works fully offline — it was never designed to call home.
Cost Optimization
Replace $18K+/year Datadog subscriptions with a $15K one-time license. Same visibility. Zero dependency risk. Your data stays on your network.
