Piro
Piro is a self-hosted platform for status pages, uptime monitoring, and incident response aimed at engineering teams.
What Piro is
Piro is a self-hosted platform for status pages, uptime monitoring, and incident response aimed at engineering teams. Its checks cover HTTP, DNS, SSL, TCP, Ping, gRPC, sandboxed JavaScript, and inbound heartbeats. Public status pages can display uptime history, latency trends, incidents, and planned maintenance. Incident tools include on-call schedules, escalation policies, verified alert channels, incident records, and postmortems. Services, checks, and alert rules can be declared in YAML and managed with the Piro CLI or REST API. A single-region setup can run checks in-process, while standalone workers support monitoring from different regions. Integrations include Google Chat, Jira, GCP Cloud Monitoring, email, Telegram, Twilio SMS, ntfy, and outbound webhooks. Android and iOS apps provide end-to-end encrypted push notifications. Piro supports OIDC and SAML 2.0 sign-on and has Owner, Admin, Member, and Viewer roles. The maker says credentials and secret fields are encrypted at rest, and that the product has no telemetry, tracking, or phone-home. Piro is released under AGPL-3.0; providing it as a paid or public managed service for others requires making modifications available under that license.
