Uptime Kuma — Guide — Felhom.eu ← Apps Uptime Kuma Service monitoring - it tells you when something stops working ● Running status.tester4.test Open ↗ What is it for? Watch whether your websites and services answer HTTP, TCP, DNS, ping and other checks Alerts by e-mail, Telegram, Discord and more A public status page for the people who use them Clear graphs of how much of the time things were up First steps Open status.tester4.test in your browser Create the admin account the first time you open it Add your first monitor (your own website, for example) Set up alerts (e-mail, Telegram and so on) Optional: build a public status page Announce maintenance When you switch something off on purpose, you get no alerts during the maintenance. In the top right corner, open your profile menu and select „Maintenance”. Select „Schedule Maintenance” and fill in its „Title”, for example: new router. In „Affected Monitors”, choose what you are switching off. In „Strategy”, choose „Single Maintenance Window”, set the start and the end, then select „Save”. Fewer false alerts A new monitor alerts at the first failed check, and you can relax that. Open the monitor in the list on the left and select „Edit”. In „Retries”, type 2 or 3. Select „Save”. The monitor then goes to „Pending” first and alerts only if the retries fail too. Sort monitors into groups With many monitors, groups and tags help you find your way. Select „Add New Monitor” and in „Monitor Type” choose „Group”, for example: Home. For the other monitors, on the „Edit” page choose this group in „Monitor Group”. In the „Tags” part you can also give a monitor a coloured tag, for example: family. If one member of the group goes down, the group itself shows as down. Protect your account With two factor authentication you need your phone as well as your password to sign in. In your profile menu select „Settings”, then the „Security” page. Select „2FA Settings”, type your password into „Current Password” and select „Enable 2FA”. Scan the QR code with the authenticator app on your phone, type the six-digit code and select „Verify Token”. If the code is right, select „Save”. Frequently asked questions Does Uptime Kuma tell me when the box itself goes down? It cannot: Uptime Kuma runs on the box, so when the box or the home internet goes down, it goes down too. It watches other devices and websites. How do I stop a monitor for a while? Open the monitor, select „Pause” and confirm. To watch it again, select „Resume”. Can I switch off the sign-in? Do not. After „Disable Auth” on the „Security” page, anyone who knows the status.tester4.test address gets in and can change everything. How long does it keep the history? 365 days by default. On the „Monitor History” page of „Settings” you can make it shorter to use less space. Why is some text in English? Uptime Kuma follows your browser's language and shows English where a translation is missing. You can change it in „Language” on the „Appearance” page of „Settings”.
