chmonitor
GuideGetting started

Sign up for chmonitor Cloud

Create a free Cloud account and add your first host. Paid Polar checkout is a self-host commercial license, not Cloud seats.

chmonitor Cloud (dash.chmonitor.dev) is the hosted dashboard — sign in, connect ClickHouse or Postgres, and monitor. No infrastructure to run. Hosted Cloud does not sell seat or host plans.

Already self-hosting ClickHouse?

Prefer self-host plus an optional commercial license (yearly or lifetime, honor system). That is the paid path for operators who already run infra.

The sign-up flow

Sign in

Before signing in you can explore a live, public read-only demo cluster. Signing in hides the demo and shows your own setup.

Connect a host

There is no Polar plan picker. Add a ClickHouse or Postgres connection (see ClickHouse user & grants, or Connect a firewalled ClickHouse).

Hosted Cloud does not cap hosts or seats. AI daily caps still apply on the hosted product (see below).

AI usage (hosted Cloud only)

Self-host OSS is not gated. These caps apply only on dash.chmonitor.dev.

Anonymous guests also have a tighter per-minute rate limit (RATE_LIMIT_AGENT_GUEST_PER_MIN, default 5). See AI agent configuration and environment variables.

Licenses (self-host)

Buy Team or Unlimited from pricing. Polar checkout is for the self-host license (hooks.chmonitor.dev), then register your company. The Cloud dashboard does not sell plans. See commercial license.
