What is Gatus?

Gatus is a health dashboard for monitoring services with HTTP, ICMP, TCP and DNS checks. You set conditions such as status code, response time or certificate expiry, and it shows the results on a status page. Its README shows how to run it with Docker and mentions Kubernetes.

Third-party open-source projects. We are not affiliated with their authors; repositories are provided as-is by their maintainers. Review each project's license, code and security before installing. See our Disclaimer.

Pros: what Gatus does well

  • Find out quickly when a site or service is down
  • Set your own conditions for what counts as healthy
  • Start with a single Docker command

Cons: where it falls short

  • Needs a place to host it
  • Configuration is written in a file

Who Gatus is for

People who run websites or services and want early warning.

Who can skip it

Anyone who does not manage online services.
