Gatus is a developer-oriented status dashboard and health monitoring application for self-hosted services and infrastructure.

It provides a web interface for tracking endpoint health and service availability, and it’s designed to let administrators define checks that go beyond simple uptime monitoring so they can validate whether applications are actually behaving as expected. The project is aimed at teams that want a status page and monitoring tool they can run themselves rather than relying on a hosted service.

This is free and open source software.

• Monitors endpoints using protocols including HTTP, ICMP, TCP, DNS, WebSocket, gRPC, UDP, and SCTP.
• Supports flexible health check conditions using values such as status codes, response time, response bodies, connectivity, certificate expiry, and DNS response codes.
• Offers alerting integrations for many services including Slack, PagerDuty, Discord, email, Telegram, Twilio, and custom alert handlers.
• Provides Prometheus-friendly metrics through a /metrics endpoint.
• Includes announcements and maintenance window support for status page communication.
• Supports access control with Basic Authentication and OIDC.
• Can be deployed with Docker, Helm, Terraform for Kubernetes, or installed as a Go binary.
