Kuvasz is a self-hosted monitoring service for keeping track of websites, network services and scheduled tasks. It combines an administrative dashboard with status pages that communicate service availability to customers or internal teams.
Administrators can manage monitoring through the web interface, configuration files or an API. This makes Kuvasz suitable for both manually maintained installations and environments where monitoring configuration forms part of a wider automated workflow.
This is free and open source software.
