Octotor keeps track of every computer, server, user and network device at every customer
you support. It collects their details automatically, shows you what changed, warns you when
something is wrong, and runs repair scripts for you. One virtual machine, on your own server or
in the cloud. Made for IT service providers (MSPs) and in-house IT teams.
Most IT tools show you one piece of the picture and need an agent on every machine.
Octotor needs no agent, puts every fact about a computer or a user on one page, and answers your
questions in plain words through its built-in AI.
AGENTLESS — WORKS RIGHT AWAY
Nothing to
install on the computers you manage. Octotor works the moment remote PowerShell, shell access
or SNMP is enabled on a computer or a network device. No agents to deploy, update or
repair.
EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE
The facts about one
computer or one user are scattered across Active Directory, Microsoft 365, the switch it is
plugged into, the firewall and the computer itself. Octotor collects them all and shows one
current page per computer and per user.
EXPAND IT AS MUCH AS YOU NEED
Octotor runs
scripts for you. Write your own PowerShell or shell scripts to read or change anything on the
computers you manage, and add them to your toolkit. Free disk space? Script it. Event-log
alerts? Script it. A command on a schedule? Script it. With AI help, anyone can write a
script, load it into Octotor, and it runs for you.
ASK THE AI IN PLAIN WORDS
Octotor has a built-in AI
assistant that reads all your asset information. Ask it “When did user Donald change his AD
password?” or “Which switch and port is accountingPC connected to?” and it answers in seconds,
so you don’t have to look it up yourself.
SAFE HELP-DESK ACCESS
Help-desk users look
up information and take specific, controlled actions without ever holding the admin
credentials. You decide which actions each group may run, and every run is
recorded.
AND A LOT MORE ON BOARD
Scheduled tasks, an
alert center, a live monitor, full job history, asset and account discovery, an encrypted
credentials vault and per-customer scoping. See Also on board further
down this page.

ready-made evaluation VM, start it for the first time, and do the first steps after that. More videos are on the Videos page.

The evaluation VM is a ready-made virtual machine with Octotor already installed, free for one year for up to ten assets. This video goes from the download to your first login, then the first setup steps: a customer, the credentials Octotor signs in with, and your first computer. Evaluation VM →

INVENTORY
Agentless discovery over SSH, WinRM and SNMP — hardware, disks, software and
accounts, kept current on schedule. Devices and users side by side, filtered any way
you work.
SCHEDULED TASKS
Recurring jobs on any schedule — collection sweeps, health checks, maintenance
scripts — across customers and targets, with every run and its output in the
history.
EVERYTHING ON THE RECORD
One searchable timeline of every event, job and change — filter by customer, asset,
category or time and see exactly what happened, and what it printed.
MONITORING & ALERTS
Ping, TCP and SNMP checks with live status the moment it changes — and an Alert
Center that shows what fired, what resolved, and what a rule did about it.
AI ASSISTANT
Plug in the cloud AI you already use, or run the local assistant fully offline. Ask
it about your fleet — it answers from your live database.
In IT management and troubleshooting, the facts about one computer or one user
are scattered across separate systems: Active Directory, Microsoft 365, the switch it is plugged
into, the firewall, the computer itself. Octotor collects all of them and shows them on one page
per asset and per user, so you always have one current view of everything you know about it.
And because Octotor keeps watching, it can warn you when any of those facts changes: a new
logged-in user, a moved switch port, a licence that disappeared, a disk filling up.

Make Octotor do what you need, with your own scripts.
Octotor is not limited to what comes in the box. Write your own PowerShell or
shell scripts to read or change anything on the computers you manage, add them to your toolkit,
and Octotor runs them for you in three ways: when you click Run, on a schedule, or as the remedy
an alert triggers. Every run is saved in the job history with its output, so you
always see what happened.
Recurring jobs on any
schedule — collection sweeps, health checks, maintenance scripts — per customer or across
the fleet.
IT HELP DESK
Help-desk users work with
scoped permissions — they run the approved actions without ever holding admin
credentials.
INVESTIGATE EVENTS
One searchable
timeline of every event, job and change — filter by customer, asset, category or
time.
ALERT CENTER
Open alerts in one queue —
acknowledge, resolve, and see what fired, what recovered, and what a rule did about
it.
LIVE MONITOR
A live status board of
your monitored assets — state flips the moment a check changes.
JOB HISTORY
Every run ever executed,
with its full output and exit code — and who or what fired it.
ASSET DISCOVERY
Network scans propose
new assets; you review and approve what joins the inventory.
ACCOUNT DISCOVERY
Directory and cloud
accounts are discovered and linked to their people and machines.
CREDENTIALS VAULT
Credentials stored
encrypted on your VM and used by jobs — operators never see the values.
MULTI-CUSTOMER
Every asset, alert, job
and permission scoped per customer — one console for all of them.
ROLE-BASED ACCESS
Admins, operators and
viewers — page and action permissions per user group.
UPDATE CHECKS
A daily anonymous check
tells the console when a new release is out. No instance data leaves.
Questions, answered
Does any of my data leave the VM?
No. No telemetry, no analytics, no usage reporting, no license phone-home —
Octotor runs air-gapped. The optional daily update check fetches a version number and
sends no instance data.
What does Octotor replace?
Three things you probably run today: the remote management tool you use
to reach computers and run scripts, the separate monitoring tool that watches servers and
devices, and the spreadsheets where you keep track of what each customer has. Octotor does
all three in one system on your own server: it keeps the inventory, watches for problems and
runs the fixes, for every customer you manage.
Do my technicians need admin credentials?
No. Permissions define exactly which actions a help-desk user or group may
run — they execute scripts requiring domain-admin rights without ever seeing an admin
credential, and every action lands on the record with its output.
What do I need to install it?
The quickest way: download the evaluation VM.
It is a ready-made virtual machine with Octotor already installed and a licence for one
year. Start it on Hyper-V, VMware or VirtualBox and log in; no installation at all.
To install Octotor yourself, you need one clean Debian 13 virtual machine, on your own
hypervisor or in your cloud account, with the sudo and curl tools installed (a
fresh Debian includes neither; the Setup Guide shows the three commands). One command then
installs everything else. The Setup Guide walks you through
it.
How is it priced?
Per asset — $1 per asset per month, with a free Community edition up to 10
assets. An asset is a user, a computer, or a managed network device (switch, firewall).
Details and the full tier matrix are on the
Plans page.
Can I try it without signing up?
Yes — the live demo is open, runs on sample data, and needs no account.
Every screenshot on this page links straight into the view it shows.
