Self-hosted network monitoring software that runs on your servers
Self-hosted network monitoring runs on servers you control: in your office, your data center or your own cloud account. The program, its monitoring results, the logs and the device passwords all stay there, not in a vendor's cloud. Uplivra itself receives only license information, like device counts and version, plus optional health information that you control.
Teams choose self-hosted network monitoring when the data is sensitive, when security or compliance rules say it must stay in-house, when the network has no internet access, or when they don't want their monitoring to stop because someone else's service is down.
Uplivra is self-hosted network monitoring for small businesses, enterprises, government agencies and MSPs. It's free for up to 15 devices, with no card and no license key. Setup usually takes about 30 minutes, most of it waiting for downloads.

Why self-hosted instead of cloud monitoring?
Cloud (SaaS) monitoring is a good fit when you don't want to run a server. Self-hosted network monitoring fits when it matters most where the data lives and who can reach it. The main differences:
| Self-hosted (Uplivra) | Cloud (SaaS) monitoring | |
|---|---|---|
| Where your data lives | On your servers | On the vendor's servers |
| Without internet access | Keeps monitoring. Updates and license renewals come as signed files. | Needs a connection to the vendor |
| How you pay | Per device, monthly or yearly. You provide the server. | Usually per device, host or sensor, monthly or yearly. The vendor provides the servers. |
| Access and audit logs | Your accounts, your audit log, your retention | Kept in the vendor's platform, shown as the vendor allows |
| If the vendor has an outage | Your monitoring and alerts keep running | Monitoring and alerts may be disrupted until the vendor recovers |
| What you look after | The server it runs on, and applying signed updates | The vendor hosts the service |

Frequently asked questions
What is self-hosted network monitoring software?
Software that watches your routers, switches, firewalls, servers and services, and runs on servers you control. Its monitoring results, logs and passwords are stored there, not in a vendor's cloud. Uplivra installs on your own Linux or Windows server, or as a virtual appliance.
Is self-hosted monitoring more secure than cloud-based monitoring?
It can be: your network's details stay under your control, and there is no shared vendor platform holding them. It also means the server is yours to look after, so keep it updated and limit who can reach it. Uplivra helps with a CIS-hardened appliance, signed updates, TLS 1.3 and tamper-evident logs.
Can network monitoring work without internet access?
Yes, when it's self-hosted. Uplivra monitors and alerts entirely on your own network. Servers without internet access renew their license every three months with a file from the customer portal, and upgrades come as signed offline packages.
How much does self-hosted network monitoring cost?
Uplivra is free for up to 15 devices. Above that it costs $2.00 per device per month for the first 50, stepping down band by band to $1.00 per device after 200, with 15% off when you pay yearly. The pricing page shows every band. You provide the server it runs on.
What is the difference between self-hosted and on-premises monitoring?
On-premises means the software runs on hardware in your own building. Self-hosted is wider: you run it yourself, on your own hardware or in a cloud account you control. Either way, the data stays with you, and Uplivra works both ways.
Can I try Uplivra before buying?
Yes. The free plan covers up to 15 devices with no time limit, no card and no license key, so you can run it on your real network before you pay for more.
