Overview
Cloudprober supercharges your monitoring with active probes (a.k.a. synthetic monitoring) to ensure your systems—homelabs, microservices, APIs, websites, or cloud-to-on-prem connections—run as expected. See this post for why probers provide one of the most reliable monitoring signals.
Why Cloudprober?
Versatile Probes: Built-in HTTP, PING, TCP, DNS, gRPC, and UDP probes, plus custom checks via external probes.
Auto-Discover Targets: Effortlessly monitor Kubernetes, GCP, or file-based resources without constant redeployment.
Integrate with Existing Systems: Out-of-the-box integration with Prometheus, Grafana, DataDog, AWS CloudWatch, PostgreSQL, and Google Cloud Monitoring.
Easy Alerts: Stay informed via email, Slack, PagerDuty, OpsGenie, or any other HTTP based system.
Lightweight & Scalable: Written in Go, compiles to a single binary, and runs efficiently as a standalone app or Docker container.
Custom Metrics: Flexible latency histograms and configurable labels for precise insights.
Extensible: Easily add new probe types, targets, or monitoring systems.
