OpenStatus

OpenStatus is an open-source synthetic monitoring and status-page platform. It runs HTTP, TCP, and DNS uptime checks from 28 global regions, publishes hosted and self-hostable status pages, and manages incidents and status reports. The OpenStatus REST API at https://api.openstatus.dev/v1 lets teams programmatically manage monitors, status pages, status reports, incidents, and on-demand checks. The platform is free to self-host (AGPL-3.0) and also available as a managed cloud service.

OpenStatus publishes 5 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Check API, Incident API, Monitor API, and 2 more. Tagged areas include Monitoring, Synthetic Monitoring, Uptime, Status Pages, and Incidents.

OpenStatus’ developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, and 10 more developer resources.
