Overview

EasyMonitor is an open-source, self-hosted uptime monitor. A Laravel app schedules HTTP and ICMP checks onto Redis Streams, Go probe binaries in any region claim them and publish results, and a consumer writes to TimescaleDB and triggers alerts. Cross-probe quorum decides up or down, and the app serves public, unlisted or private status pages.

Best for: Small teams that want to run their own uptime monitoring and status pages on their own servers.
Pricing: No prices are shown: the software is MIT licensed and self-hosted, and the site states there is no per-monitor or per-seat charge.
Runs on: Self-hosted
