Cabot is a self-hosted, open-source infrastructure monitoring and alerting service, offering a lightweight alternative to PagerDuty, Pingdom, and Nagios. It provides a web dashboard to monitor services and send phone, SMS, HipChat, or email alerts based on Graphite metrics, HTTP endpoint checks, and Jenkins build statuses.

Use cases

  • self-hosted uptime monitoring for services and endpoints
  • alert on-call engineers via SMS, phone, or email when services go down
  • alert based on Graphite/statsd metrics thresholds
  • monitor Jenkins build statuses
  • lightweight PagerDuty alternative without cost and complexity

When to choose

  • you want a simple, self-hosted monitoring and alerting service
  • you already push metrics to Graphite/statsd and want to alert on them
  • you find Nagios too complex and want a web UI with no-code configuration

When to avoid

  • you need actively maintained software with recent updates and support
  • you need Prometheus-style metric collection or a modern alerting ecosystem
  • you require managed/on-call scheduling features at PagerDuty's level of maturity
