Hetzner Automated Weekly Usage Reports
Every Monday, WebRun opens the Hetzner console, reads CPU, storage, and traffic usage plus the current invoice total for every server, saves the figures as a dated report in Google Drive, and texts you a one line summary through Twilio once it's ready.
How do I track Hetzner server usage and costs every week?
WebRun reviews every Hetzner server each week, reading CPU, storage, and traffic usage alongside the current invoice total. It saves the figures as a dated report in Google Drive and texts you a one line summary through Twilio once it's ready, so you always have a running usage record without opening the console yourself.
- Every server gets a weekly usage and cost reading
- Usage reports land in Drive without anyone opening the console
- You get a one line text the moment the report is ready

Questions, answered
Will it resize or delete a server on its own?
No. WebRun only reads usage and invoice data and saves a report. Resizing or removing a server always stays a manual decision in the Hetzner console.
What does the text message actually say?
A one line summary of the week's total spend and any server using noticeably more than its usual load, so you know at a glance whether the full report is worth opening.
Does the report cover every server on the account?
Yes. It reviews every server under the account each week, not a hand picked subset.
