Per-Server Settings & Overrides

Most settings live at the org level — alert rules, notification channels, retention. A few are useful to override per server, and that's what this page covers.

What you can override

Settings → Servers → [your server] → Overrides:

• Collection interval — default 30s. Lower it for prod-critical servers that need finer resolution; raise it for non-critical (saves CPU on the agent + ingest cost on us).
• Log collection enabled — disable per-server if log volume is too noisy or compliance restricts log shipping for certain databases.
• Retention window — shorten this server's retention below the org default. Can't extend beyond org default.
• Default time range — what the UI loads when you switch to this server. Non-prod gets longer windows by default (less change so more history is useful), prod gets shorter (recent only, snappier UI).
• Alert mute window — silence all alerts for this server during a maintenance window without disabling rules. Auto-restores when the window closes.

Server name and tags

Friendly name + free-form tags. Tags appear as filter chips on the fleet overview and can scope alert rules — "fire only on servers tagged prod". The tag-as-rule-scope pattern is what most teams converge on once they have more than a handful of servers.

Reconnect after credential rotation

If you rotated the monitor role's password externally (which you should occasionally), paste the new password here and click Reconnect. The collector picks up on the next cycle — no restart of MonPG's infra needed.

Per-user server access

By default everyone in the org sees every server. To restrict, enable "Per-server ACL" in Org settings, then under each server's "Server access" tab pick which org members get access. The common use case is separating dev/staging/prod by team — your dev team sees dev and staging, your platform team sees prod.

Delete server

Removes monitoring and clears historical data after a 30-day soft-delete window. During the window the server lives under Settings → Recently deleted and you can restore it; after, the data is purged.
