Uptime & Status Pages

Why Self-Host Your Uptime Monitoring?

UptimeRobot, BetterStack, and PagerDuty charge based on the number of monitors, check frequency, and team size. For self-hosters running dozens of services, commercial uptime monitoring costs add up quickly — and ironically, you are paying a cloud service to monitor whether your self-hosted services are running. Self-hosted uptime monitoring provides the same ping checks, HTTP monitoring, and status pages without per-monitor pricing.

Uptime Kuma is the most popular self-hosted uptime monitor, with support for HTTP, TCP, DNS, Docker, and push-based monitoring. It provides a clean dashboard, configurable check intervals, and notifications via Slack, Discord, Telegram, email, and dozens of other channels. Checkmate offers a modern, minimal uptime monitoring interface with team collaboration features. Gatus takes a configuration-as-code approach, defining monitoring targets in YAML with sophisticated health check conditions — you can assert on response body content, response time, and certificate expiration.

For public-facing status pages, Cachet provides a traditional status page with incident management and component-level status tracking. Kener offers a modern status page built with SvelteKit. OpenStatus combines uptime monitoring with a public status page in a single tool. OneUptime provides a comprehensive monitoring suite including uptime, incident management, and status pages. Zabbix handles enterprise-scale monitoring with auto-discovery and template-based configuration. For lightweight needs, StatPing-ng provides basic uptime monitoring with a status page, while Lunalytics and Peekaping offer simpler monitoring dashboards. Tianji combines uptime monitoring with website analytics in a single deployment.
