gatus

A service health dashboard in Go that is meant to be used as a docker image with a custom configuration file.

Live example: https://status.twinnation.org/

Usage

By default, the configuration file is expected to be at config/config.yaml.

You can specify a custom path by setting the GATUS_CONFIG_FILE environment variable.

metrics: true         # Whether to expose metrics at /metrics
services:
  - name: twinnation  # Name of your service, can be anything
    url: https://twinnation.org/health
    interval: 15s     # Duration to wait between every status check (default: 10s)
    conditions:
      - "[STATUS] == 200"
      - "[RESPONSE_TIME] < 300"
  - name: github
    url: https://api.github.com/healthz
    conditions:
      - "[STATUS] == 200"

Note that you can also add environment variables in the your configuration file (i.e. $DOMAIN, ${DOMAIN})
