About openstatus
openstatus is an open source status page and uptime monitoring service. It also handles incident response, so the team and its users can follow updates in one place.
What it does
openstatus checks URLs from many regions and alerts the team when a check fails. You can publish a status page for your users. Declaring an incident with a slash command in Slack opens a dedicated channel, invites the responders and pins the incident card. The record of each incident is kept for later review.
Key features
- Uptime checks from 28 regions
- Public status pages for your users
- Incident channels created from Slack
- Alerts to Slack, PagerDuty, email and webhooks
- Open source code under the AGPL-3.0 license
Who it's for
Ops and engineering teams that want status pages and incident handling in one tool. Support teams that need to tell customers about outages will also find it useful.
Pricing and good to know
The code is open source under AGPL-3.0, and the hosted version is free to start. The page offers a 14-day trial of its Starter plan with no card needed. Paid plans start at $30 per month. The AGPL license has conditions for anyone who runs a modified version, so read it before you deploy your own copy.
