An open-source CLI toolkit for monitoring SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL without installing agents on the monitored machines.

Field notes
The homepage lays out a CLI-centered workflow: configuration lives in JSON files, and scheduled runs produce records that feed reports and alerts. Its report examples include fleet inventory, per-server metrics, SLA/SLO compliance, and index usage; the page says the sample reports use stable fake names in place of server names. The project describes optional Telegram delivery and says commands sent back through chat are checked against both the sender’s and chat’s clearance.
