Overview
openstatus combines uptime and API monitoring, status pages, notifications, and incident workflows in an open-source operations platform whose resources can be declared with YAML or Terraform.
Features and best fit
Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:
Key features
Declare monitors and status pages as code
Define monitors, notification channels, and status pages in YAML or Terraform and apply them from the CLI or CI, keeping operational configuration reviewable in code.
Sources: [2]
Connect incident response with public communication
Create, update, and resolve incidents from the dashboard or Slack, then link them to status reports and subscriber notifications over email, RSS, and webhooks.
Sources: [2]
Operate the same resources from CLI, Terraform, and MCP
The tooling includes a human-friendly CLI, Terraform provider, typed API, and MCP server so supported AI clients can work against the same operational model.
Sources: [2]
Best fit
Fits SRE teams that want monitoring-as-code plus public status communication
It is relevant when external monitoring and status pages should not be separate systems and configuration changes should flow through code review.
Sources: [2]
Before adoption
The full self-hosted stack contains several services
The Docker-based setup starts the dashboard, status pages, API, workflows, probes, and data services together. Production deployments should plan persistence and external dependencies separately from a local evaluation.

Review AGPL-3.0 network-use obligations
The repository is licensed under AGPL-3.0. Check the source-availability obligations that may apply when operating a modified version over a network.

Supplemental curator note
openstatus treats monitors and status pages as declarative resources that can be managed through YAML, Terraform, CLI, CI, and MCP against the same API. Self-hosters should also review the AGPL-3.0 terms.
Try it in 3 steps
- 1
Clone openstatus
Fetch the official repository for the Docker-based evaluation path.
git clone https://github.com/openstatusHQ/openstatus.git && cd openstatus - 2
Prepare the Docker environment file
Copy the example environment file as documented. Replace sample secrets before exposing any deployment.
cp .env.docker.example .env.docker - 3
Start the stack
Open http://localhost:3002 for the dashboard and http://localhost:3003 for status pages after the containers start.
docker compose up -d
