Uptime Kuma is an open-source monitoring tool. It enables you to monitor services over HTTP/S, TCP, DNS, and other protocols. You can receive notification alerts of downtime and even create custom status pages for your users.

Uptime Kuma ensures reliable monitoring so you can be warned before any significant trouble. It saves you money. You won’t lose visitors because of an expired SSL certificate. And you’ll get notified 30, 14 and 7 days before expiration so you have time to renew.

With a self-hosted uptime solution, you get a few bonuses. Some of them are:

  • Complete control of your data.
