# Uptime Kuma Monitoring

> Self-host uptime monitoring with a public status page and alerts, at a flat cost for any number of sites.

A complete recipe for self-hosting an open-source uptime monitor on a single low-cost server, with a database backend, a reverse proxy with TLS, a public status page, and alerts over Telegram, Slack or email with a full incident lifecycle. From one dashboard you watch the HTTP health, response latency, TLS certificate expiry, DNS resolution and open ports of every site you operate, for a flat monthly cost instead of per-site SaaS pricing, and the data stays on infrastructure you own.

## Use cases
- Watching the health of every site you operate from one dashboard
- Getting a downtime alert before a client or a social post tells you
- Publishing a public status page as a trust signal
- Alarming on TLS certificate expiry well before it lapses
- Reporting a monthly uptime percentage in a client report
- Running incident postmortems with a clear timeline

## Benefits
- One flat monthly cost no matter how many sites you watch
- Alerts reach you before customers notice the outage
- A public status page reassures visitors and clients
- Your monitoring data stays on infrastructure you own

## What’s included
- A production container stack with a database backend and reverse proxy
- HTTP, keyword, ping, DNS and port checks with latency tracking
- A public status page with an incident timeline and maintenance windows
- Multi-channel alerts over Telegram, Slack and email
- A TLS certificate-expiry alarm system
- An SLA report query and an incident-postmortem discipline

## Who it’s for
Teams operating multiple sites who want one self-hosted monitor, a public status page and reliable alerts at a flat cost.

## How it runs
Finding out about downtime from a customer is unacceptable. This recipe stands up a monitor you own, watching every site from one dashboard:
1. Deploys the uptime monitor with a database backend behind a reverse proxy with TLS as a container stack
2. Adds HTTP, keyword, TLS, DNS and port checks per site, with latency tracking and a response-time threshold
3. Tunes alerting to fire only after several consecutive failures and to suppress during maintenance windows
4. Publishes a public status page with an incident timeline, and routes alerts to Telegram, Slack or email
5. Provides an SLA-report query and an incident-postmortem discipline for when it went down, what was done and what was learned

## FAQ
### Why self-host instead of a monitoring SaaS?
Per-site SaaS pricing scales with the number of sites, while a self-host runs at a flat server cost no matter how many you watch. Once you monitor more than a handful, the self-host pays off, and the data stays on your own infrastructure.

### How does it avoid waking me for a brief blip?
It alerts only after several consecutive failures, since a single failure is usually a transient network glitch. It also suppresses alerts during maintenance windows and flags flapping monitors instead of paging on each flip.

### Can clients see the status?
Yes. A public status page shows current health, an incident timeline and planned maintenance, which acts as a trust signal, while the edit side stays protected behind authentication.

## Price
$15, one-time, no subscription. VAT included.
