Peekaping

Peekaping is an open-source, self-hosted uptime monitoring and status page platform built for monitoring websites, APIs, and internal services. It provides an API-first design and flexible storage backends to fit lightweight or production deployments.

Key Features

• Multiple monitor types including HTTP/HTTPS, TCP, ICMP ping, DNS, and push (webhook) heartbeats
• Infrastructure and service checks such as Docker container health, gRPC, and SNMP polling
• Database and broker monitoring (e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, MQTT, RabbitMQ, Kafka)
• Alerting via many channels including SMTP email, webhooks, and popular chat/on-call tools
• Public status pages and SVG status badges for transparent uptime reporting
• Security features such as multi-factor authentication, brute-force protection, and SSL certificate expiration checks
• API-first architecture with OpenAPI/Swagger support for integrations and automation
• Pluggable data storage options: SQLite, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB

Use Cases

• Monitor public websites and APIs and notify teams immediately on outages
• Track internal infrastructure components (containers, databases, brokers) for early incident detection
• Publish customer-facing or internal status pages to reduce support load and improve transparency

Limitations and Considerations

• The project is in beta and some features and behavior may change
• Migration tooling from Uptime Kuma is not yet fully available

Peekaping is well-suited for small teams and growing environments that want ownership of monitoring data, strong extensibility, and a modern UI. Its wide monitor coverage and alert integrations make it a practical alternative to traditional uptime monitors.
