OKStatus documentation
European uptime monitoring — monitors, alerting, status pages and SLA reports, documented end to end.
Start here
Section titled “Start here”- Introduction — what OKStatus does, and what it does not.
- Quick start — from sign-up to a first check in a few minutes.
- Your first monitor — regions, intervals and what a check actually measures.
Monitor types
Section titled “Monitor types”| Type | What it checks |
|---|---|
| HTTP / HTTPS | Status code, response body, redirects, certificate expiry |
| Ping | ICMP reachability and round-trip time |
| TCP | A port accepts connections |
| gRPC | The standard grpc.health.v1 health service |
| DNS | A record resolves to the expected value |
| Databases | PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB and MongoDB — a real connection and a real query |
| Mail & cache | SMTP, IMAP and Redis — the real protocol dialogue, authentication included |
| LLM canary | An LLM endpoint answers, fast enough and with the expected content |
Every HTTP and gRPC monitor can carry its own credentials — Basic auth, bearer token, API key, session cookie, OAuth2 client credentials or a client certificate. See Authentication.
Alerting
Section titled “Alerting”- How alerting works — what triggers an alert, and what suppresses one.
- Alert channels — e-mail, Discord, Slack, Telegram, webhooks, PagerDuty, Opsgenie and more.
- Escalation — who gets told next when nobody acknowledges.
- Incidents and maintenance windows.
Publish and prove
Section titled “Publish and prove”- Status pages — a public page per organisation, on your own domain.
- Badges — an uptime badge for a README or a website.
- SLA and status — how availability is computed, and what an SLA credit covers.
- PDF reports and scheduled reports.
Automate
Section titled “Automate”- API reference — REST API, API keys, rate limits — plus the interactive reference.
- Terraform provider — monitors, status pages and alert channels as code.
- Private agents — run checks from inside your own network.
Data and compliance
Section titled “Data and compliance”OKStatus runs entirely in the European Union. See Security for hosting, encryption and retention, and the audit log for who changed what.
