Upptime is an uptime monitoring and status page system built around GitHub’s automation and publishing services.
Instead of requiring a dedicated monitoring server and database, it uses GitHub Actions to carry out scheduled checks, GitHub Issues to record incidents and GitHub Pages to publish service availability information.
This approach makes Upptime particularly interesting for developers and small organisations already using GitHub. Configuration and monitoring history are maintained in a repository, allowing changes to be inspected through Git’s normal version history.
The public status page is generated as a static website, with incident information and performance graphs showing the availability of monitored endpoints. Operational notifications can be delivered through external communication services.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Checks website availability automatically through scheduled GitHub Actions workflows.
- Supports monitoring intervals as short as five minutes, subject to GitHub Actions scheduling behaviour.
- Records monitoring results and response-time information in a Git repository.
- Automatically opens GitHub Issues when monitored endpoints become unavailable.
- Closes incident issues when service availability is restored.
- Allows incident descriptions and investigation updates to be maintained through GitHub Issue comments.
- Supports assigning team members to incidents.
- Generates a static status page displaying current availability, previous incidents and long-term response-time information.
- Uses historical Git data to produce graphs showing changes in service responsiveness.
- Supports notifications through Slack, Telegram and custom webhooks.
- Allows administrators to customise status page branding, content and monitored endpoints.
- Provides a Git-based audit trail of monitoring configuration and incident history.
