Overview
Fleet Manager allows you to monitor all of your Neo4j instances, both Aura and self-managed, directly from the Aura console. It collects the following information from your self-managed deployment and securely transmits it to Aura:
-
Metrics
-
Topology information (graph and tabular format)
-
Server configuration
-
Database metadata
-
License status
You can also use the Fleet Manager procedures to manage and monitor the connection to Aura. See Fleet Manager procedures for more information.
In addition to these features, the user tools Query, Explore, and Dashboards (available in the Aura console) are also available for self-managed deployments. See Self-managed instances for more information.
|
Connecting to self-managed instances with user tools works independently of the Fleet Manager and is therefore available for unmonitored deployments as well. |
Compatibility
In versions 2026.03 and later, Fleet Manager is enabled by default and can be used without any additional setup.
In earlier versions, it is available as a plugin that you can install in your self-managed deployment. These includes versions Neo4j 4.4.45+, 5.26.12+, and versions between 2025.08.0 and 2026.02.2 inclusive. For details on how to enable the Fleet management plugin in those versions, see Operations Manual → Install and configure plugins.
All operating systems and deployment modalities supported by Neo4j are also supported by Fleet Manager.
|
Use Fleet management plugin 1.1.1 or later for proper support of Neo4j 4.4 clusters. |
Neo4j Community Edition deployments are subject to some limitations due to the limited set of features, such as no metrics being available.
|
Community Edition compatibility is offered on a best-effort basis. Neo4j does not offer any technical support for it. |
Security
Fleet Manager is designed to be secure, no inbound connections to your self-managed deployment are allowed. Further, there is no capability for performing any write operations or other mutations remotely.
No data is read from your databases. See Data transparency for a complete list of the data sent to Aura from your self-managed deployment.
