OneUptime: Self-Hosted Monitoring, Incident Response, and Status Pages
OneUptime combines uptime monitoring, alerting, incident management, logs, traces, metrics, APM, and status pages in one open-source platform for teams that want control over deployment and data.
What the project is for
OneUptime is an open-source monitoring and observability platform that brings uptime checks, alerting, incident response, and diagnosis into one system. Its documented scope includes status pages, on-call schedules, logs, distributed traces, metrics, APM, and error tracking. For teams that do not want to operate a collection of separate SaaS tools—or that want monitoring data in their own environment—it offers a centralized approach.

Documented capabilities
The README lists checks for websites, APIs, IP addresses, ports, SSL, DNS, and synthetic transactions. It also describes branded public and private status pages, incident workflows, on-call schedules, escalation policies, and notifications through SMS, phone, push, email, and Slack. Logs can be ingested, stored, searched, and used for alerting through OpenTelemetry. APM and tracing are presented for span and performance analysis, while metrics and dashboards support custom views.
Workflow integrations are listed for Slack, Jira, GitHub, Microsoft Teams, and other applications. The README also presents an AI Copilot that analyzes logs, traces, and metrics and can open pull requests with fixes. These actions touch source repositories and operational environments, so adopters should define approval, credential, and code-review boundaries rather than treating the description as independently verified behavior.
For infrastructure monitoring, the README claims OpenTelemetry-based collection options for servers, Kubernetes, Docker, Podman, Proxmox, VMware, and Ceph. The supplied sources do not establish universal permission, network, retention, or storage requirements for each environment. Those details should be checked against the relevant installation documentation.
Who may benefit
OneUptime may fit small engineering teams, self-hosters, and organizations that want to keep control of their monitoring stack and data. Teams already using OpenTelemetry, and willing to own upgrades, backups, notification channels, and troubleshooting, may find the consolidated workflow useful.
It may be more than necessary for a team that only needs one basic availability check. Organizations requiring mature commercial support, specific data-residency commitments, or audited operational processes should first confirm the exact differences between the community and enterprise offerings.
Deployment considerations and limits
The README documents Docker Compose for a single server and describes it as suitable for homelabs and small teams. It also provides a Kubernetes Helm installation path. However, the supplied sources do not confirm minimum CPU, memory, disk, concurrency, or production capacity figures. They should not be inferred from the quick-start text. Before production use, review the sizing, upgrade, backup, and network-access documentation and test with representative telemetry volumes.
Self-hosting makes the operator responsible for domains and TLS, secret management, database and telemetry backups, rollback procedures, access control, notification-provider setup, and the availability of the monitoring platform itself. AI features, automated pull requests, SMS, and phone calls also warrant separate review of external services, permissions, costs, and sensitive-data flows. The official 13.0.3 release lists VMware monitoring, passkey sign-in, JSON import and export for label rules, and other changes; adopters should still read the complete release notes and use a controlled test window before upgrading.
