Overview

Gatus builds automated status pages backed by uptime monitoring of HTTP, DNS, TCP, UDP, ICMP, SSH, gRPC and WebSocket endpoints. Checks use custom conditions on status codes, response bodies via JSONPath, response time and certificate expiry, and failures raise alerts to Slack, Discord, PagerDuty and other platforms. Test suites run several endpoints in sequence with shared context.

Best for: Teams wanting hosted status pages with uptime and API monitoring, or a free self-hosted option
Pricing: No free hosted plan; four paid plans at $10, $20, $50 and $500 per month, each with a 7-day trial, with 20% off yearly billing, and self-hosting is free.
Runs on: Web
