Gatus
Developer-oriented health dashboard with declarative YAML config and status pages
Overview
Gatus is a lightweight, developer-focused health dashboard that monitors HTTP, TCP, ICMP, DNS, and more using declarative YAML conditions. It generates a status page out of the box and integrates alerting with Slack, Teams, PagerDuty, Discord, and others. It is a single Go binary, making it trivial to deploy in Kubernetes or Docker.
Where it falls short of UptimeRobot
- Configuration is YAML-only; no UI to add/edit monitors (less friendly than UptimeRobot's dashboard)
- Status pages are basic compared to Statuspage.io (no incident timeline workflow, subscriber management, or component grouping UX)
- No built-in multi-region probing without running multiple instances
- Limited historical analytics / long-term reporting
We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
