Vigil is a Status Page you can host on your infrastructure, used to monitor all your servers and apps, and visible to your users (on a domain of your choice, eg. status.example.com).
It is useful in microservices contexts to monitor both apps and backends. If a node goes down in your infrastructure, you receive a status change notification in a Slack channel, Email, Twilio SMS or/and XMPP.
Vigil monitors all your infrastructure services. You first need to configure target services to be monitored, and then Vigil does the rest for you.
This is free and open source software.
