Adding a server provider to OpsiMate

Types of Services​

Server providers support two primary service monitoring approaches:

Docker Containers​

Automatic Discovery: OpsiMate automatically detects all Docker containers running on the server, and you can add them directly from the my providers page.

Systemd Services​

Manual Configuration: Systemd services require manual specification during the service addition process.
