- The provider-only setup needs no server installation; deeper inspection comes from an optional read-only Linux agent.
Field notes
Each project uses its own provider API token, and Rackpulse groups servers by project while moving problems to the top. Uptime combines the provider’s start/stop history with checks recorded on the server. Cost estimates use provider list prices, with an option to enter a different price for older servers and a separate list for stopped machines that still bill.
