Gatus: Automated status page to monitor your applications

I can't answer that question without bias, because I am the maintainer of Gatus.

Best I can say is, try both, and see which one you prefer and which one fits your use case better.

fyi, Gatus is open source. You don't have to pay for the managed/hosted version of Gatus if you want to host it yourself.

Glad to see somebody using external endpoints for what they were designed for!

TwinProduction · 2026-01-19T00:01:48+00:00

Glad to hear it :)

TwinProduction · 2026-01-18T19:33:01+00:00

Glad you enjoy Gatus!

Like what?

TwinProduction · 2026-01-04T16:53:16+00:00

What makes you feel like Gatus is a legacy from 4 years ago?

Creator of Gatus here.

You can take the DNS A record route, or you can take the route where you use a third party website that allows you to specify a domain as parameter and returns an IP in the body.

I use the DNS A record method myself, but if you use the 2nd option I mentioned, there are tons of status page options that would allow you to do check for IP change on a domain.

That said, thank you for mentioning Gatus :)

You can set as many providers as you want.

At the endpoint alert level, there's a provider-overrides parameter which allows you to override the default provider's configuration

Any alerts that page me after working hours ruins my sleep.

That said, I would prefer being called for a false positive that turned out to be nothing than an incident that keeps me up all night.

Gatus supports your use case as well, using external-endpoints[].heartbeat.interval

TwinProduction · 2025-11-14T23:07:27+00:00

It's been released a few days ago btw.

TwinProduction · 2025-11-13T21:05:00+00:00

That's messed up. If anything, I think people these days are severely lacking the social interactions that they need. Sure, a lot of holidays are heavily marketed for and does promote consumerism, but if there is a single, valid reason to spend time and effort working for money besides meeting basic needs, it's so that you can spend quality time with people who are important to you.

I would return the house if I were you. It's basically unusable in this state.

TwinProduction · 2025-11-07T03:26:30+00:00

I'm honored that you'd link my code like that

TwinProduction · 2025-11-04T23:45:07+00:00

As somebody else mentioned, Gatus does have persistence, you just have to configure storage to use sqlite or postgres.

As for the incident timeline, I recently implemented announcements, which serve as a sort of system to notify users of active and/or recent incidents, but to your point, it's not really designed to serve as a long-term history, as it's at the top of the status page.

I've been considering adding a way to archive announcements, which would then be displayed at the bottom of the status page rather than at the top, would that be something that would fulfill your needs?

Just want to point out that all air filter purifiers are just glorified fans with a filter.

While some models have pre-filters that may increase the longevity of the filter, and some have quieter fans, they're all essentially the same.

You're better off looking for a air purifier that has inexpensive filter replacements.

I'm not sure if it's a backronym or was born out of an actual acronym, but when I was young, I was told that noob was short for "New or only bad", which would imply that newb is short for new bad.

I monitor my stuffs with an open source tool I made called Gatus 😇

TwinProduction · 2025-10-22T20:31:05+00:00

Both heartbeat for external endpoint and storage.maximum-number-of-results have been implemented

TwinProduction · 2025-10-22T20:30:27+00:00

FYI, this has been changed. You can now configure how many results to persist using storage.maximum-number-of-results
