Unraid Management Agent is a powerful tool designed for Unraid OS, providing robust system monitoring and control through a REST API and WebSocket interface. This community-developed plugin is tailored for users who prefer REST over GraphQL, offering real-time event streaming and a plethora of monitoring features. Key functionalities include tracking CPU usage, disk metrics, network status, and Docker or VM management. The integration of Prometheus metrics allows for seamless monitoring with tools like Grafana, enhancing the overall user experience.

The agent operates independently from the official Unraid API, allowing users to utilize both simultaneously without conflict. It is designed for flexibility, offering features such as MQTT event publishing for IoT integration and support for Model Context Protocol (MCP) for AI agent interactions. With no external dependencies, it simplifies installation and usage, making it an essential tool for anyone looking to enhance their Unraid system management.
