What's Included in Your Trial

Your 3-month trial includes everything that Server Scout offers:

• All monitoring features — CPU, memory, disk, network, processes, and system health
• Full server allowance — up to 5 servers (the same as our entry-level paid plan)
• Device monitoring — SNMP monitoring for switches, UPS systems, and IPMI/DRAC interfaces
• Auto-detected plugins — automatic monitoring for cPanel, DirectAdmin, Plesk, and JetBackup
• Complete alerting system — email alerts, webhooks, and custom notification rules
• Multi-user access — add team members with admin or user roles
• API access — full REST API for integrations and custom dashboards
• AI-powered support — our support bot responds within approximately 1 minute
• Progressive Web App — install the dashboard on your mobile devices

There are no feature restrictions or limitations during your trial period. You get the complete Server Scout experience.

No Automatic Charges

We believe in transparency and trust. Here's what you can expect:

• No surprise charges — your trial will never automatically convert to a paid subscription
• No stored payment details — we don't ask for or store any billing information during signup
• Clear communication — you'll receive friendly reminders as your trial approaches its end
• Your choice entirely — decide whether to subscribe based on your experience

What Happens When Your Trial Ends

When your 3-month trial concludes:

1. Monitoring stops — the agents will stop sending data to our servers
2. Dashboard remains accessible — you can still view all historical data collected during your trial
3. No data loss — your configuration, alerts, and historical metrics are preserved
4. Subscribe anytime — you can activate a paid subscription whenever you're ready to resume monitoring

Your account simply becomes inactive rather than being deleted, so you can take your time deciding whether Server Scout meets your needs.

Getting Started During Your Trial

Once you've created your account, follow these steps to begin monitoring:

1. Add your first server — click "Add Server" and enter your server details
2. Install the lightweight agent — copy and run the provided Bash installation command
3. Verify data collection — check that metrics are appearing in your dashboard
4. Configure alerts — set up email notifications for the metrics that matter to you
5. Explore advanced features — try device monitoring, webhooks, or invite team members

Our Getting Started checklist in the knowledge base walks through each step in detail, ensuring you get the most from your trial period.

Support During Your Trial

Trial users receive the same level of support as paid customers:

• AI support bot — instant responses with relevant troubleshooting steps
• Human escalation — available during business hours (Monday-Friday, Irish timezone)
• Complete knowledge base — comprehensive guides and tutorials
• Email support — create tickets for any questions or issues
