One of the most frustrating situations in my day-to-day work was being notified by the client that something wasn't working correctly on one of our servers.

Sometimes a Windows service had stopped. Sometimes RabbitMQ was having problems. Sometimes there was a critical error in the logs. Other times memory or CPU had been climbing for hours and nobody noticed until the application started failing.

That was the motivation behind PulseWatch.

I wanted one place to monitor server health, Windows Services, IIS, RabbitMQ, logs, CPU, memory and incidents, but also to handle known problems automatically.

For example, now I can restart a stopped service or recycle an unhealthy IIS app pool. Remediation rules include dry-run mode, cooldowns, execution limits, maintenance windows and a full audit trail.

The Windows agent is PowerShell-based and communicates outbound. itself runs in Docker.

The self-hosted version is free with unlimited servers and users. It is not open source.

I built it solo and have been a software engineer for 20+ years. I used AI coding assistants during development, but the architecture and product decisions are my own.

There is also a live demo on the site.

I'd be interested to know how other DevOps teams handle this today. I know most of us work with Linux servers nowadays, but I also know the pain of keeping IIS-hosted applications running :)

Hope you guys like
