Gatus

What is Gatus?

Gatus is an open-source status page and monitoring platform that enables users to create automated, visually appealing status pages while monitoring the health of their services. The tool tracks multiple endpoint types including HTTP, DNS, and TCP connections, allowing users to define custom conditions and receive instant alerts when issues occur. The platform is designed for development teams, DevOps engineers, and infrastructure managers who need transparent, real-time visibility into service availability. Rather than relying on third-party status page services, Gatus allows organizations to self-host their monitoring and status communication infrastructure. Key capabilities include endpoint monitoring with configurable health checks, customizable alert conditions, and an automatically generated status page that displays current service status to both internal teams and end users. The open-source foundation means users can modify the software to fit specific requirements and avoid vendor lock-in. Gatus is particularly suited for teams that value control over their monitoring infrastructure, need cost-effective monitoring solutions, or want to integrate status pages directly into their existing technology stack. The combination of monitoring functionality and status page generation in a single open-source tool distinguishes it from services requiring separate platforms for these functions.
