StatusOwl
What StatusOwl is
StatusOwl hosts status pages and monitors services, opening an incident when an attached monitor records three consecutive failed checks. The first successful check then posts a recovery update and resolves the incident. Checks cover HTTP/HTTPS, ping, TCP ports, SSL certificate expiry, domain expiry, and server metrics. Status pages can show uptime history, timestamped incident timelines, scheduled maintenance, branding, and custom domains. Private pages are unlisted and return a 404 to people without the link, but they are not password-protected. Notifications can use email, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, ntfy, or signed webhooks. There are important limits: uptime checks do not currently trigger notifications, and pages have no subscriber form or list to distribute incident updates. The free plan includes one status page, 25 monitors checked every three minutes, two team members, and 30 days of history. StatusOwl is available on the web and through an API.
