ciao is a self-hosted web application that checks HTTP(S) URL endpoints for expected status codes on a cron schedule and notifies via email or webhooks on status changes. It ships with a web UI, a RESTful JSON API, Prometheus metrics, and requires no external dependencies like databases.

Use cases

• monitor uptime of my websites and get alerted when they go down
• check http endpoints on a schedule and notify slack on status change
• self-hosted url status monitoring with a web ui
• track tls certificate expiration before it expires
• expose uptime checks as prometheus metrics for grafana
• monitor internal private services with http checks

When to choose

• you want a simple, dependency-free uptime monitor deployable with a single docker command
• you need cron-scheduled HTTP checks with email or webhook notifications
• you want Prometheus metrics and a REST API for your URL checks

When to avoid

• you need multi-step or browser-based synthetic monitoring
• you need a large-scale distributed monitoring system like Prometheus or Zabbix
• you need checks beyond HTTP/TCP such as DNS or database probes
