Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source Docker monitoring tool that runs either as a scheduled cron check or as a continuous agent, with an optional web interface.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-24 issue.

For: Self-hosters and operators of Docker containers
Worth noticing: Cron runs preserve action delays in a state file; continuous mode exposes an API and Prometheus metrics.

Field notes

The two modes share a monitoring engine but suit different operating patterns: scheduled checks can run without keeping an interface online, while serve mode keeps measurements available through an API. The page also describes action delays being retained in a state file for cron use. It provides Python and Docker installation paths and links to a separate guide for configuring the interface, HTTPS, and optional actions.
