Download
One file. No database, no agents.
The whole product — server, web interface, everything — is a single executable. Copy it to the machine that's always on, run it, and open a browser. Free for 14 days with every feature switched on, up to 10 devices.
Getting it running
There is no installer to step through and nothing to configure before first launch.
Windows
- Put
netriva.exesomewhere sensible —C:\Program Files\NetRiva\or your own folder both work. - Double-click it. A console window opens and the interface launches in your browser.
- Go to Discover and let it sweep your subnet.
Windows will warn you on first run. We haven't bought a code signing certificate yet, so SmartScreen shows “Windows protected your PC”. Click More info → Run anyway. We'd rather tell you this here than have you find it on your own and assume something's wrong — and it's exactly why the SHA-256 checksum is published next to every file above. Verify the download and you know you have the same bytes we built.
Linux
chmod +x netriva
./netrivaThen open http://localhost:8080. To run it as a service, there's a systemd unit in the docs.
ICMP needs a little help on Linux. Ping either requires root or the
cap_net_raw capability. Granting the capability is the better option:
sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep ./netriva
Verify what you downloaded
# Windows (PowerShell)
Get-FileHash .\netriva.exe -Algorithm SHA256
# Linux
sha256sum netrivaCompare the result with the checksum shown beside the file above. If they differ, don't run it — tell us.
What it needs
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Operating system | Windows 10 / 11 / Server 2016 or later · Linux with glibc 2.31 or later |
| Architecture | amd64 (x86-64) or arm64 — a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 is plenty |
| Memory | About 80 MB idle; roughly 250 MB monitoring 200 devices |
| Disk | Under 50 MB for the binary. Syslog retention is what actually uses space, and you set that. |
| Database | None. There is nothing to install, tune or back up separately. |
| Network | Reachability to the devices you're monitoring. Inbound UDP 514 only if you want the syslog receiver. |
| Browser | Any current Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari |
| macOS | Not yet — it needs an Apple Developer account for notarisation. Say if you want it. |
Stuck on the first run?
Tell us what you're seeing. There's a one-click redacted diagnostic bundle inside the app if you'd rather send that.
