About:
Monika is a command-line monitoring tool that checks website availability and API performance from your own infrastructure. It sends real-time alerts via various channels when issues are detected, providing a self-hosted alternative to SaaS monitoring solutions. The tool supports customizable probes, response validation, and detailed notification configurations.

Key Features:

HTTP/HTTPS monitoring with customizable probes
Multi-channel notifications (Slack, email, Discord, etc.)
Response time tracking and performance metrics
Flexible alerting rules and conditions
Self-hosted and open-source

Use Cases:

Monitoring website uptime and API health
Performance tracking for web services
Alerting teams about service disruptions

Alternatives:

Uptime Kuma – More UI-focused, Monika is CLI-first and lightweight
Pingdom – SaaS vs Monika's self-hosted approach
