Introduction

← Monitra home

Monitra is a Rust uptime monitor operated from the command line. It checks network targets, can receive checks from host agents, and exposes a terminal and web dashboard.

Its operating principles are straightforward:

  • Show an unknown or stale state when Monitra lacks evidence. A broken collector or missing agent does not prove that a target is down.
  • Keep the normal installation self-contained: SQLite, an in-process cache, and a logging notifier need no external service.
  • Make capabilities available from the CLI, including monitor management and alert history.

Start with Getting started, then see Concepts and the CLI reference.
