Find a container and inspect its reported state, CPU and memory usage using observations collected from monit-docker.
Atraxis 1.0.9 · Free software · Self-hosted
Your console for
monitoring and automation.
Atraxis brings observations from your monitoring tools into one web interface. Inspect the state of your services, find their latest measurements and prepare automation rules with Atropos. This free software runs on your own infrastructure.
For system administrators and teams operating infrastructure.
No account needed: real Covenant metrics, alerts delivered to a local receiver and synthetic scenarios.

AutonRuns authorized tasks on your servers.
Atraxis queries monit-docker and CertLord directly, without Prometheus or Covenant. Collection is read-only; activating rules and executing jobs remain separate operations.

AtroposAlertmanagerPost-intervention notifications, when configured.
Atraxis brings together monit-docker and CertLord observations and selected numeric Prometheus metrics, including those produced by Covenant. Metric reading is experimental; time-series charts and metric-driven interventions are not supported yet. Atropos connections to Auton and Alertmanager require explicit configuration.

ATRAXIS / FEATURES
What you can do with Atraxis.
Inspect your resources in one inventory. Connect monit-docker for containers, CertLord for TLS certificates, and Prometheus for numeric metrics from Covenant or other collectors.
Spot upcoming expiry dates
Look up domains, expiry dates and renewal information reported by CertLord.
Know whether a measurement is current
When a tool stops responding, Atraxis retains its last observations and marks them as historical. The current state remains explicitly unknown.
For example: a worker reports 95% CPU. Find it in the inventory, check where the measurement came from and whether it is current, then prepare a test scenario for a threshold rule.
RULES / WITH ATROPOS
Prepare your rules.
Test before activating.
Create, edit and test rules from Atraxis. Atropos is the separate service that stores them, evaluates them and checks permissions.
Create a draft
Start from a template or edit an existing rule in the web editor. Inspect its versions and the revision that is currently active.
Check concrete scenarios
Submit scenarios, such as 95% CPU against an 80% threshold, then inspect the report produced for the exact tested version.
Choose a version to activate
Review the rule and its report before confirming activation. Saving or testing a draft does not activate it or trigger an intervention.
These features require a configured Atropos service and appropriate permissions. Workflows and action execution need additional configuration and authorization.

Atropos 1.0.4 is available on PyPI.
Install the engine on your infrastructure or just the client in your application. Python 3.11/3.12; the engine requires the system libmagic library.
Rule and workflow engine
python -m pip install 'atraxis-atropos[service]==1.0.4'Independent Python client
python -m pip install 'atropos-client==1.0.4'The engine command is atropos. Atraxis 1.0.9 uses the published atropos-client 1.0.0; the engine remains an independent service.
Atraxis and Atropos are available on Docker Hub.
Install the published versions on Linux amd64. The complete Compose stack includes TLS proxies and optional worker profiles.
Atraxis 1.0.9

Prepare your configuration and retain the data volumes. Downloading an image does not configure sources or activate rules.
The 1.0.9 guided installer and the Compose starter in tag v1.0.9 both deploy the verified Atraxis 1.0.7 image.
INSTALLATION / SOFTWARE STATUS
Install it on your infrastructure.
Install Atraxis
Install the platform from PyPI in a Python 3.11, 3.12 or 3.13 virtual environment with the system libmagic library.
python -m pip install atraxis==1.0.9
Behind a TLS proxy, keep the application port private, configure the actual proxy’s IPv4 network in general.trusted_proxy_networks and apply nginx per-client rate limiting together with the 1.0.7 upgrade.
The trusted proxy must overwrite X-Forwarded-For with $remote_addr. Failed Basic logins are isolated by client address and account. Missing or ambiguous forwarding headers are rejected. Clients sharing a NAT address still share address budgets; retain ingress rate limits.

Stable for the documented reference profile. The public demo remains experimental and read-only. This is self-hosted software, not a hosted production service or a high-availability guarantee.

FURTHER READING / THE ECOSYSTEM
The software around Atraxis.
monit-docker observes containers, CertLord manages certificates, and Atraxis brings their observations together. Atropos provides the rule engine. Covenant transforms data into metrics. Prometheus stores them and Atraxis can display their selected latest values. Alertmanager receives Prometheus alerts; Auton can run tasks authorized by Atropos.
This describes the architectural direction. It does not imply that every integration is available today. Prometheus and Alertmanager are independent third-party projects; their inclusion does not imply endorsement. Licenses and trademarks →
