## What is Server Monitor for Linux?

Server Monitor for Linux connects directly to your Linux server via SSH — no agent to install, no cloud account to create, no data leaving your device. Just open the app, enter your credentials, and watch your server come alive.

Real-time monitoring, beautifully visualised
CPU load across every core, RAM and swap usage, disk read/write rates, and network throughput — all displayed as smooth, live charts that update every second. Switch between individual cores and a combined view with a single tap.

Built for admins who care about privacy
Every SSH connection is made directly from your device to your server. No telemetry, no analytics, no third-party backends.

Your dashboard, your way
Show only the metrics you care about. CPU hog but never check the network? Hide it. Every widget can be toggled independently — and the app stops polling the server for anything you turn off.

Zero configuration on the server
Server Monitor for Linux requires nothing more than a running SSH daemon. No custom software, no open ports beyond 22, no cloud relay. Works on any standard Linux distribution.

## Key features

- Real-time SSH server monitoring
- Live CPU, RAM, disk, and network charts

### 5/5 — Developer addressed the issues in my previous review!

*2026-08-15*

EDIT: The developer addressed pretty much all of the issues in my review in the v1.1 update so I have edited my review to give this app 5 stars. For a free app, this app is a nice little monitoring tool!

Old review:
Only lets you see 1 server & doesn’t save your configs

The app does work so I give it 3 stars for that but as a server monitor this app does only the bare minimum and nothing else. It doesn’t save your SSH credentials so each time you disconnect you have to re-enter your login information again. AND it only lets you look at one server at a time so you gotta erase all the configs you just put in for your first server if you want to look at a second server.

Honestly, this app in its current state I can appreciate for being free but it’s still just a pain to use given these limitations. realistically, most people who use SSH have more than 1 server or virtual machine they want to monitor. I would only recommend this app if you just have 1 server and you never plan on getting anymore.
