Statping — Self-Hosted Status Page with Beautiful Graphs and Alerts

Introduction

Statping is a self-hosted status page and uptime monitoring tool that provides beautiful graphs, analytics, and notifications. It monitors HTTP, TCP, UDP, and gRPC services and presents their status on a public-facing page with historical uptime data.

What Statping Does

• Monitors HTTP endpoints, TCP ports, UDP services, and gRPC health checks
• Generates a public status page showing real-time and historical service health
• Sends notifications via Slack, Email, Telegram, Webhooks, and other channels
• Displays latency graphs and uptime percentages over configurable time periods
• Supports plugins for extending monitoring and notification capabilities

Architecture Overview

Statping runs as a single Go binary with an embedded SQLite database by default, though it also supports PostgreSQL and MySQL. The monitoring engine performs checks at configurable intervals, stores results in the database, and renders the status page using a built-in web server. A Prometheus exporter is included for integration with existing monitoring stacks.

• Deploy via Docker, single binary, or from source
• Configure monitored services through the web UI or API
• Supports SQLite, PostgreSQL, and MySQL as storage backends
• Customize the status page appearance with themes and CSS
• Set up notification channels through the settings panel

Key Features

• Beautiful, responsive status page with latency graphs and uptime stats
• Multi-protocol monitoring: HTTP, TCP, UDP, gRPC, and ICMP
• Notification integrations with Slack, Email, Telegram, and custom webhooks
• Prometheus metrics exporter for grafana dashboards
• Plugin system for custom monitoring checks and notifiers
