Kuvasz is an open-source, self-hosted solution for monitoring website uptime and SSL certificates, providing status pages and multi-channel notifications. It features a modern UI, a powerful REST API, and integrates with OpenTelemetry and Prometheus for enhanced observability.

kuvasz sits in the Observability category, so it is usually better judged by workflow fit, deployment style, and team needs than by isolated features alone. Based on the available metadata, it leans most clearly toward HTTP(S) and SSL Certificate Monitoring. A representative use case is Continuous Website and Service Availability Monitoring. The listed license is AGPL-3.0. GitHub stars are currently 663. Relevant tags include Uptime Monitoring, SSL Monitoring.

This write-up is based on the project's README and public repository data. We have not hand-tested the tool.
