Mac Mini server builds with 24/7 monitoring included. Application containers, automated backups, health checks, resource alerts, and real-time dashboards. The same server setup that powers the SecondCrew platform — built for you.
See Everything at a Glance
The web dashboard updates in real time. Monitor CPU, memory, disk, network, and all your services from one page. Also available as a terminal dashboard for remote sessions.
Everything You Need to Monitor
Real-Time System Metrics
CPU, memory, disk, network I/O, load averages, and per-core utilization collected every 60 seconds. 30 days of history retained automatically.
AWS Cost Tracking
Daily and monthly cost breakdowns from AWS Cost Explorer. Services mapped to cost categories. Automatic anomaly detection flags unexpected spending.
Service Health Checks
Monitor application containers, VPN connections, websites, and network services. Response time tracking with configurable health thresholds per service.
Threshold Alerting
Configurable alert thresholds for CPU, memory, disk, and service health. Email and text alerts for critical issues. Built-in deduplication prevents alert fatigue.
Web Dashboard
Web dashboard with overview, services, costs, alerts, and settings pages. Auto-refreshing metrics with responsive design.
Terminal Dashboard
Rich terminal dashboard for remote sessions. Live-updating panels with color-coded status. Quick metric lookups without opening a browser.
Three Ways to Run
Container
Single container with automatic data storage. One command and you are live. Health checks built in.
Background Service
Run the installer for a native macOS background service. Starts on login, auto-restarts on crash. Zero container overhead.
Development
Standard setup with full test suite included. Easy to extend with custom service checks and alert channels.
Production Quality
ServerWatch runs on our own Mac Mini M2 Pro. These are the engineering stats from the codebase we deploy for you.
Monitors All Platform Modules
ServerWatch is the monitoring backbone of the SecondCrew platform. It monitors the health, uptime, and performance of every other module in your deployment.
Backflow
Portal submission health
CallInsight
Transcription system uptime
SmartReach
Email/text delivery health
VacationHost
