Better Stack (Uptime)
Uptime monitoring and incident management service that alerts teams when websites or services go down
CheckCle
Real-time full-stack monitoring platform for servers, apps, and services
CheckCle delivers real-time uptime, performance, and SSL monitoring across servers, applications, and APIs, with distributed checks, incident tracking, and multi-channel alerts—all self‑hosted via Docker.
Overview
Overview
CheckCle is designed for developers, system administrators, and DevOps teams that need full visibility into their entire technology stack. By running a single self‑hosted service, teams can monitor websites, APIs, databases, and infrastructure components in real time without relying on external SaaS providers.
Core Capabilities
The platform performs distributed uptime checks over HTTP, DNS, Ping, and TCP protocols, while also collecting server metrics such as CPU, memory, disk and network usage on Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, Red Hat) and Windows (beta). Integrated SSL monitoring reports certificate status, issuer and days‑to‑expiry. Incident history, maintenance scheduling, and public status pages keep stakeholders informed. Alerts are delivered through email, Telegram, Discord, and Slack, and can be customized via templates.
Simple Deployment
CheckCle ships as a Docker image that can be started with a one‑line docker run command or a Docker‑Compose file. The web UI is accessible on port 8090, offering multi‑language support, dark/light themes, and user management. All components are released under the MIT License, encouraging community contributions and free use.
