Open source · OSI-approvedStatus: unknownNew

Self-hosted multi-region uptime monitoring with status pages

EasyMonitor is a self-hosted uptime monitor for websites and APIs that confirms outages from multiple regions before paging anyone. Monitors cover HTTP, TCP, ping, DNS, keyword, and SSL checks; incidents open and resolve automatically with a timeline; and public status pages with custom subdomains keep users informed. The MIT-licensed Laravel and Vue codebase deploys with one Docker Compose command, free of per-monitor SaaS fees.[1][2]

Quick verdict

Small teams that want self-hosted uptime monitoring with multi-region confirmation will get the most from EasyMonitor. Six check types, quorum-based incidents, and status pages with custom subdomains cover the core workflow, and the MIT codebase deploys in one Docker command. The price of that newness is pre-alpha probes with no SSO, public API, or paid support, so teams needing managed SLAs should look at a hosted monitor instead. If you can run one service and want quorum-checked alerts without SaaS fees, choose EasyMonitor; if you want zero infrastructure, choose a managed monitor.[1][2][3][4]

Key features

  • Six check types: HTTP and HTTPS endpoints, TCP ports, ping, DNS records, keyword presence, and SSL certificate expiry, matching the documented monitors table.[1][2]

  • Flexible scheduling from 30-second to 24-hour intervals with per-monitor timeouts, retry counts, N-of-M quorum thresholds, grace periods, and maintenance windows.[1]

  • Multi-region monitoring through remote probe workers with per-region status views, so a check result carries the region it was observed from.[1][2]

  • Cross-probe quorum from v0.3.0: an incident opens only when N independent probes agree within the same round, filtering single-region false positives.[1]

  • Automatic incident lifecycle with a timeline, plus scheduled maintenance windows that suppress alerts during planned work.[1][2]

  • Public status pages with custom subdomains, per-service components, and badge embeds for uptime and response time.[1][2]

  • Nine notifier channels: email, Slack, Discord, Telegram, PagerDuty, Opsgenie, Pushover, Gotify, and generic webhooks, each with a send-test button.[1]

  • One-command Docker Compose deployment with SQLite out of the box and MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Redis support, guided by a setup wizard that tests the database, queue, and scheduler.[1]

Who will love it

  • Small teams that want self-hosted uptime checks plus a public status page without per-monitor SaaS billing.[1][2]

  • Teams burned by single-region false positives: quorum-checked probes and per-region views directly target that pain.[1][2][3]

  • Laravel and PHP shops that can read, extend, and operate the documented stack of Laravel, Vue 3, Tailwind, SQLite or MySQL, Redis, and Docker.[1]

Who should avoid it

  • Teams that need a managed SLA, single sign-on, a public REST API, or paid support: none is documented, and the README lists API, SSO, RBAC, and audit log as roadmap items, not shipped features.[1]

  • Teams that need production-hardened multi-region today: remote probes are explicitly pre-alpha, self-built, and secured by a single round key with no rotation yet.[1]

  • Teams that need backup and restore, two-person incident acknowledgement, Prometheus export, or log-file monitoring: all sit on the documented roadmap and are not in v0.3.0.[1]

How people experience it

One inspected third-party DEV self-hosting guide used for the managed-versus-self-hosted tradeoff context; product facts rest on first-party documentation as no independent Reddit or G2 user reports were found.

1 cited community source. First-party sample only: no independent Reddit or G2 user reports for EasyMonitor were found in the inspected searches, which fits a project created in 2025 with 75 stars. Vendor-affiliated DEV comparison material was used only for the self-hosting tradeoff, not for product facts. No prevalence or satisfaction claim is made.

Early-stage adoption signal: 75 GitHub stars with weekly releases, most recently v0.3.0 adding cross-probe quorum, against a codebase created in 2025.[1]

No independent Reddit or G2 user reports were found in the inspected searches, so this assessment rests on first-party documentation plus catalogue facts rather than operator testimony.[1][2]

A third-party self-hosting guide warns that single-server monitors cannot check geographic availability or alert when their own host is down; EasyMonitor's probe design answers exactly that concern, though its probes remain pre-alpha.[1][2][3]

Alternatives and compatibility

Reviewers position EasyMonitor against Uptime Kuma, the mature single-server incumbent with status pages and wide adoption; EasyMonitor differentiates on quorum-checked multi-region probes while Uptime Kuma offers simplicity and community scale.[1][2][3]

Switching means recreating monitors, notifiers, and status pages by hand: no import path from another monitor is documented.[1]

Teams with a strict open-source requirement are covered: the MIT license is OSI-approved and permits commercial use, modification, and private operation.[1]

Questions worth asking

What is the best EasyMonitor alternative for non-technical users?

Uptime Kuma is the closest self-hosted alternative: a mature single-server monitor with status pages and a large community, though it lacks EasyMonitor's quorum-checked multi-region probes. If you want zero infrastructure, a managed monitor with a free tier (the inspected DEV guide names Garmingo's free plan) removes server duty entirely at the cost of control and data staying on someone else's servers.[1][2]

Is EasyMonitor really no-code?

Yes for everyday use. Monitors, notifiers, status pages, incidents, and maintenance windows are all created and managed through the web UI, and the guided setup test confirms the database, queue, and scheduler before finishing. Code is needed only if you want to extend the Laravel and Vue codebase itself.[1][2]

How much does EasyMonitor cost per month?

The software itself costs $0 per month: it is MIT-licensed with no paid tiers, per-monitor fees, or managed offering documented as of October 2026. Your only cost is the server you run it on, plus any notifier-side charges from providers such as PagerDuty, Opsgenie, or Pushover.[1][2]

Can I self-host EasyMonitor?

Yes. Deployment is one Docker Compose command of about ten lines, with SQLite working out of the box and MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Redis supported for larger setups. Remote probes are separate lightweight Node 22 workers for extra regions, currently marked pre-alpha.[1][2]
