What is m1nd?

m1nd is a lightweight, self-hosted network synthetic monitoring platform that runs entirely on a single Linux host. No Kubernetes, no Prometheus stack, no cloud subscription required.

It was designed with a clear focus on out-of-band (OOB) network operations — the kind of work where you need to know your tunnels are up, your remote switches are reachable, your DNS is resolving correctly, and your bandwidth is healthy, all from a single dashboard you control.

Philosophy

Own your data, own your tools, own your visibility.
