Get your unique monitoring token
InfraCaptain generates a cryptographically secure, unique token for your server. This token identifies your server and authorizes the monitoring agent. The full install command is generated and ready to copy — your token is already embedded in it.
- Each server gets its own unique token — revoke anytime from dashboard
- Token is embedded in the install command — just copy and paste
- Option B: manual verification code if scripted installs are restricted on your host
- Tokens use one-time authentication; agent switches to a session key after install
One command in your terminal
SSH into your server and paste the generated command. The installer detects your Linux distribution, downloads the agent, configures it with your token, and starts it as a system service. Done in under 60 seconds — no configuration files to edit, no ports to open.
- Supports Ubuntu 18.04+, Debian 9+, CentOS 7+, Rocky Linux 8+
- Agent uses under 0.1% CPU and ~30 MB RAM — invisible to your workloads
- No root password shared — installer only needs sudo to create a system service
- No inbound firewall rules — agent makes outbound connections only on port 443
- Agent starts immediately and begins collecting signals
InfraCaptain verifies your server automatically
The moment the agent sends its first heartbeat, InfraCaptain verifies the connection and marks your server as Online in the dashboard. No manual confirmation, no waiting — it happens automatically, usually within 15–30 seconds of running the install command.
- Heartbeat detected within 15–30 seconds of agent start
- Dashboard updates in real time — watch it go live
- If verification takes longer, a step-by-step diagnostic appears automatically
- All communication encrypted with TLS 1.3 end-to-end
- Token used once for install, then the agent uses a rotating session key
Your server is fully monitored — instantly
The moment your server is verified, InfraCaptain populates your dashboard with live data. CPU, RAM, disk, network, running processes, cron job history, SSL certificate status, and security events — all updated every 60 seconds. Captain AI is ready to answer questions from the very first data point.
- CPU, RAM, disk, and network metrics updated every 60 seconds
- Cron job history, process list, and service status visible immediately
- Alert rules activate from the first minute — no warm-up period
- Captain AI can answer questions about your server from the first data point
- Historical trends build over time — patterns visible within 24 hours
What the agent collects —
and what it never touches
InfraCaptain collects infrastructure signals only. Your application data, database contents, and credentials never leave your server.
Secure by Design
The agent runs with minimal permissions, encrypts all communication using TLS 1.3, and can be completely removed with one command. You can revoke access, pause monitoring, or disconnect any server at any time — no lock-in.
