Monitoring and Alerting for Your RustDesk Relay

“Is the server up?” shouldn’t be a question you ask after a technician complains. A professional IT manager uses proactive monitoring to solve problems before they impact the business.

Key Metrics to Track

1. Service Status: Are HBBS and HBBR actually running?
2. CPU Load: Unexpected spikes can indicate a rogue session or a DDOS attempt.
3. Network Latency: Is the datacenter experiencing peering issues?
4. Log Anomalies: Are there an unusual number of failed connection attempts?

Simple Tooling for 2026

You don’t need a complex enterprise monitoring suite. Simple tools can keep you informed:

• Uptime Kuma: Great for a visual dashboard and Slack/Telegram alerts.
• Netdata: For high-granularity performance tracking in real-time.
• Prometheus/Grafana: If you are managing a cluster of multiple relays.

Automated Peace of Mind

Monitoring is only useful if it’s easy to set up. In our managed deployments, we incorporate health-check endpoints that make integrating with your existing monitoring stack a breeze.

Your remote access infrastructure is too important to leave unmonitored.
