- Steam game server support
- Notification integration
Connect the monitoring engine to your existing communication tools to get alerts the moment a service fails. The app supports over 90 different notification providers out of the box. You can configure different alert channels for specific groups of monitors based on severity or team.
- Discord and Slack webhooks
- Telegram bot integration
- SMTP and Email alerts
- Pushover and Signal support
- Custom webhook triggers
- Custom status pages
Create public or private pages to communicate service status to your users or internal stakeholders. These pages are decoupled from the main admin dashboard and can be branded with custom logos and CSS. They allow users to check uptime history without needing administrative access.
- Public and private visibility
- Custom CSS styling
- Incident log reporting
- Multi-language support
- Grouped service views
- Reactive dashboard
Monitor your infrastructure through a dashboard built with [Vue 3](https://vuejs.org/) and [Socket.io](https://socket.io/). The interface updates in real-time as status changes occur, meaning you never have to refresh the page to see current availability. Latency charts show historical response times to help identify performance trends.
- Real-time socket updates
- Historical latency charts
- Dark and light themes
- Responsive mobile UI
- Certificate expiry tracking
- Heartbeat push monitors
Monitor internal servers, cron jobs, or backup scripts that cannot be reached from the public internet. Instead of the dashboard pinging a service, the service sends a "heartbeat" request to a specific URL on the dashboard. If the dashboard doesn't receive this signal within a set window, it triggers an alert.
- Push API endpoint
- Cron job tracking
- Internal server monitoring
- Custom timeout windows
- Success/Failure signal types

About This App
What this app does and where it fits.
The open source monitoring standard
Uptime Kuma has become a primary choice for developers who require a private, self-hosted monitoring infrastructure. Created by Louis Lam and released under the MIT license, it was built to solve the reliability and pricing limitations of legacy monitoring tools. By using a modern technology stack, Vue 3 for the interface and Socket.io for backend communication, the application provides a responsive experience where status changes reflect instantly on the dashboard. This architecture avoids the page-refresh delays typical of older monitoring systems.
Monitoring types and architecture
At its core, the application acts as a centralized probing engine. You define monitors by IP address, hostname, or URL. The engine then pings these endpoints at specified intervals. It goes beyond simple connectivity checks; you can configure it to look for specific keyword patterns in the response body or verify that a DNS server is resolving records correctly. For tasks that occur on a schedule, such as database backups or cron jobs, the push monitor type allows the task itself to report in. All historical data, including latency and incident logs, is stored in a local SQLite database, making the entire system self-contained.
Setup and first-hour workflow
After the initial deployment, the workflow centers on dashboard configuration. The first task for most users is establishing an admin account and adding primary website monitors. The application simplifies the alert process by supporting over 90 notification providers. Setting up a Discord webhook or a Telegram bot usually takes less than two minutes. Once the baseline monitors are running, users typically group their services and publish a Status Page. These pages serve as public-facing sites that show uptime percentages and incident history to end-users without giving them access to the management console.
Ownership versus managed services
The main motivation for self-hosting Uptime Kuma is the removal of the "monitor tax." Many proprietary services charge exponentially more as you add more websites or decrease the check interval. With a self-hosted instance, the only limit is the actual CPU and memory of your VPS. Furthermore, for those monitoring sensitive internal applications, hosting your own monitoring server ensures that data about your infrastructure never leaves your controlled environment.
Community Feedback
See what the community thinks about Uptime Kuma
“I previously used UptimeRobot but became abit glitchy and they locked all of the decent features behind expensive paywalls.”
“I started with Uptime Kuma... because our services are not exposed externally, monitoring services cannot monitor them. I run Uptime Kuma on a colocated server and push alerts to it.”
“In this project, I fully used socket.io as the backend and Vue 3 as the frontend... I was looking for a monitoring tool which can watch my internal services... So I decided to build my own one.”
“Uptime Kuma is running on my 8€/mo VPS now! The VPS now runs: Umami, Beszel, and Uptime Kuma.”
“Uptime Robot offers a reliable free website monitoring service that excels in uptime tracking, but Uptime Kuma is my go-to for self-hosting.”
“Uptime Kuma is an amazing monitoring server that can notify you every time your self-hosted app stack goes down.”

Pro Tips
Expert tips to help you get the most out of Uptime Kuma and achieve better results.
Choose the right interval
For non-critical services, use a 60-second interval to minimize CPU usage and prevent your IP from being flagged by aggressive firewalls.
Separate your monitoring
Host the dashboard on a separate server from the websites you are monitoring. If the host server crashes, you need the monitor to stay alive to alert you.
Leverage push monitors
Use the push monitor type for internal tasks like backups or cron jobs that do not have a public URL to ping.
Monitor SSL certificates
The dashboard can track certificate expiration dates automatically, giving you days of notice before a site shows a security warning.
