What’s everyone using for status monitoring and/or status pages either in their lab or at work?
I setup a status page for my fediverse instances using Uptime Robot (have an existing subscription), and the features are kinda lacking. I feel like they haven’t really updated anything in the last 5 years which is unfortunate.
I use a self hosted uptime kuma instance https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma and I monitor it with uptime robot.
UptimeKuma is great! I use it three different places and have them monitoring each other to further avoid Uptime Robot.
+1 for UptimeKuma. I use that in my homelab and its solid.
uptime kuma is great. not really an enterprise monitoring system, but works great for my home environment and simple things.
I run Vigil in a separate small VM. Vigil’s features really suit my needs:
- when a service is down, first it’ll notify you via email (I use mailgun). If the service is still down for an extended period, it’ll start texting you (via twilio).
- it has the usual ping/http check to see if your services are up
- it can even monitor services that’s not reachable from the vigil instance (e.g. services that only accessible from local network) by using Agents. In addition to ping/http check, the agent can also run arbitrary commands. It basically can be used to monitor uptime of anything this way
The drawback of running your own monitoring service is the monitoring service itself can be down. Happened several times to me, and each time I was spammed with DEAD email alert, which immediately followed with HEALTHY alert email.
We’re using Wormly, good, but it’s a subscription service.
Oooofff yeah… I don’t really want to spend $44/month on my lab lol. It does seem pretty good though.
I use gatus and it’s been great.
I’m using Uptime Kuma. Works perfectly and is highly customizable.
