About:
Cloudprober is an active monitoring software designed to proactively detect failures in your infrastructure before they impact users. It continuously probes services, endpoints, and dependencies using built-in probes like HTTP, DNS, TCP, and gRPC. The tool exports metrics to Prometheus and provides a web UI for real-time visibility into system health.

Key Features:

Built-in probes for HTTP, DNS, TCP, Ping, and gRPC
Automatic discovery of targets via Kubernetes, GCE, or static configs
Prometheus metrics export for seamless monitoring integration
Web UI for real-time probe status and configuration management
Extensible probe framework for custom monitoring needs

Use Cases:

Monitoring web services and APIs for uptime and latency
Validating internal network connectivity and DNS resolution
Ensuring gRPC and RPC endpoints are functioning correctly
Active health checks for Kubernetes clusters

Alternatives:

Prometheus Blackbox Exporter – Cloudprober bundles probing logic and discovery, while Blackbox Exporter requires separate Prometheus setup and configuration
Nagios – Cloudprober is cloud-native with modern service discovery, whereas Nagios uses a more traditional host-based monitoring approach
Uptime Kuma – Cloudprober focuses on programmatic active probing with metrics export, while Uptime Kuma provides a more UI-driven status page approach
