openstatus is an open-source platform that combines status pages and uptime monitoring, available as a managed service or self-hosted. Status pages support custom domains, password protection, maintenance windows and subscriber notifications by email and RSS. Monitoring checks servers, websites and APIs in parallel from 28 global regions across three cloud providers, and alerts go to Slack, Discord, PagerDuty, email and other channels when something is down or slow.

The README stresses flat pricing with unlimited members, an AGPL-3.0 licence, and private locations that run in a single 8.5 MB Docker image. Everything in the dashboard is also reachable through a typed API with a Node SDK, a CLI (interactive for humans, `--json` for agents, with YAML monitoring as code), Terraform, and an MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other clients, all sharing one API key. Docker is the recommended way to start, with a guide for self-hosting on Coolify.

This write-up is based on the project's README and public repository data. We have not hand-tested the tool. Data as of 2026-10-10.

Features

01All-in-one Status Pages and Uptime Monitoring
02Global Multi-Cloud Uptime Checks from 28 Regions
03Open Source and Self-Hostable Deployment
04Monitoring as Code (YAML, CLI, Terraform)
05Comprehensive Incident Communication and Notifications
02

Why choose it

+Status pages and uptime monitoring in one tool, so there is no separate monitoring service to wire up.
+Checks from 28 regions across three cloud providers, with alerts to Slack, Discord, PagerDuty and email.
+Monitoring as code through YAML, a CLI with `--json`, GitHub Actions and Terraform, plus an MCP server for assistants.
+Self-hostable: private locations run in an 8.5 MB Docker image, with Docker and Coolify guides.
03

Trade-offs

!The code is licensed under AGPL-3.0, which has copyleft implications for modified services.
!The 28-region checks and flat pricing describe the managed service; self-hosting means running and maintaining your own instance.
!It focuses on status pages and uptime checks, so it is not a full observability suite with logs and traces.
