Open-source status page & monitoring tool with alerting

Overview

Gatus is a lightweight, open-source status page and monitoring tool for tracking service uptime and performance. It supports HTTP, TCP, ICMP, DNS, and other endpoint checks with customizable intervals and success criteria. Generate responsive status pages to display service health, and get alerts via Slack, Discord, Email, PagerDuty, or more when issues occur. Deploy via Docker, Kubernetes, or binary—configurations use simple YAML files, making it flexible for teams wanting self-hosted control over their status and monitoring stack.
