What is gatus?

An infrastructure monitoring tool — track servers, containers, services in real time with intuitive dashboards and multi-channel alerts.

Main components

• Highly flexible health check conditions: While checking the response status may be enough for some use cases, Gatus goes much further and allows you to add conditions on the response time, the resp...
• Ability to use Gatus for user acceptance tests: Thanks to the point above, you can leverage this application to create automated user acceptance tests.

• Alerting: While having a pretty visual dashboard is useful to keep track of the state of your application(s), you probably don't want to stare at it all day. Thus, notifications via Slack, Mattermo...
• Low resource consumption: As with most Go applications, the resource footprint that this application requires is negligibly small.
• Badges: !Uptime 7d !Response time 24h
• Dark mode

Clear use cases

• name: website # Name of your endpoint, can be anything
• "[STATUS] == 200" # Status must be 200
• "[BODY].status == UP" # The json path "$.status" must be equal to UP
• "[RESPONSE_TIME] < 300" # Response time must be under 300ms
• name: make-sure-header-is-rendered
• "[STATUS] == 200" # Status must be 200

The biggest strength is real-time metrics with low latency + auto anomaly detection + multi-channel alerts.

Best for DevOps/SRE, sysadmins, anyone running >2 servers needing unified dashboard + alerting.
