Wakes you for outages. Not for blips.
Gryphon watches your websites, certificates, DNS, servers, databases and Docker containers around the clock, from the outside and from inside your own network. It waits until a failure is real, then puts it on your lock screen, and tells you again when it's fixed.
Then from $4.99 a month. See the plans. Already have an account? Sign in
One night on api-01, as Gryphon saw it.
A check every three minutes. After a failure, every minute until it settles. A status changes only when three results in a row agree, so a single timeout never reaches you.
- 02:02, passed
- 02:05, passed
- 02:08, failed
- 02:09, passed on the retry
- 02:12, failed
- 02:13, failed
- 02:14, failed, marked down, alert sent
- 02:15, failed
- 02:16, failed
- 02:17, passed
- 02:18, passed
- 02:19, passed, marked recovered, recovery sent
- 02:22, passed
- 02:25, passed
- 02:28, passed
When the probe itself fails, the check is unknown, not down, and nobody is paged for it. "Check now" from the app or the dashboard is decisive and answers at once.
The rules in full, and who gets toldWhat it checks
Thirty-seven kinds of check, each on its own interval, with your own warning levels wherever there is a reading to judge.
From the outside
Nothing to install. Add a host and choose.
- Ping
- HTTP
- HTTPS
- A page's content
- SSL certificate
- Domain expiry
- DNS
- Postgres
- MariaDB / MySQL
- Redis
- TCP port
- Send and expect
- Heartbeats from your jobs
From your servers
With the Gryphon agent: one binary on Linux or Windows, a menu bar app on macOS.
- Disk
- Memory
- CPU
- Load
- Postgres
- MariaDB / MySQL
- Redis
- HTTP
- HTTPS
- Ping
- TCP port
- Send and expect
- Your own scripts
- File freshness
In containers
The agent asks the Docker engine on its node, or, inside a Kubernetes cluster on Pro and Teams, the cluster's API.
- A container
- Container memory
- Container CPU
- A Swarm service
- A Swarm stack
- Kubernetes workload
- Kubernetes app
- Kubernetes nodes
- Crash-looping pods
- Kubernetes CronJob
From several places
On Pro and Teams, reachability checks run from more than one region, so a regional outage is not read as a global one.
- Ping
- HTTP
- HTTPS
- A page's content

Down for the world, or down for one part of it?
On Pro and Teams, every check that asks whether a service can be reached — ping, websites, DNS, databases and ports — runs from several parts of the world at once, not from one server in one country. A CDN edge, an anycast route or a national block can take your site away from a whole region while it stays perfectly healthy where you are sitting.
Down from every location
A real outage. It wakes you.
Down from some
A regional problem — and the alert names which parts of the world can't reach you, and which still can.
A location we can't ask
Left out of the verdict. Our own network having a bad day never counts against your service.
There is nothing to buy and nothing to switch on. New checks use every location by default, and locations added later appear automatically on every check still set to use them all.
How the verdicts are combinedThe same answer on your desk.
The live web dashboard updates the moment a check lands. Add hosts, give every check its own interval, read the last 24 hours of disk, memory and CPU as a trend and seven days of uptime for every check, schedule maintenance windows, publish status pages and add your team.
The iPhone and Android apps add hosts and checks, show the same trends and answer the alert, with an inbox of every alert behind the bell.
How it reaches you
Every committed change to warning or problem goes out, and so does its recovery. Never a first result, never an unknown, and never a recovery from an unknown nobody was told about.
Push
On call, it rings through Do Not Disturb with the alarm sound you pick; off call, it arrives as an ordinary notification. Each person chooses, and a shift can end by itself.
To everyone on the account who wants it — their own switch, their own choice — naming the host, the check and what it said.
The inbox
Every alert also lands behind the bell in the app for everyone on the account, push or no push, so nothing that happened at 2 a.m. is lost by 9.
Your team's channel
The same alerts in Slack, Discord or Microsoft Teams, or to your own system as a signed webhook. On every plan, for every host or one client's.
Acknowledge an outage and everyone else is told you have it, so nobody else starts on it. A maintenance window silences a host's checks, or a single check, while it lasts, and the monitoring switch pauses the whole account.
Acknowledgements, windows and the switchTell your customers. Not your topology.
A public status page at an address you choose. Thirty days of uptime for each service, with maintenance shown separately and left out of the numbers.
Services carry the label you give them. Host names, addresses and check messages never appear. A page for every host you watch, on every plan.
Built for a team. Careful with your keys.
Owners and members
Everyone sees every check, gets the alerts, acknowledges and runs a check on demand. The owner decides, person by person, who may also change hosts, checks, maintenance windows and status pages, and keeps the people and the monitoring switch.
Two-factor sign-in
An authenticator app or a code by email, each person's own choice, with recovery codes and a browser you can trust for 30 days. On the web and in the app.
An agent that opens no port
It connects out to Gryphon with a token of its own, so the machine needs no open port, no certificate and no reverse proxy. It holds no thresholds and keeps no credentials of its own.
Credentials kept encrypted
Database passwords are encrypted at rest, agent tokens kept only as a hash, and neither is shown again once saved. Hosted in Canada.
Fourteen days free. Then from $4.99 a month.
The agent, the dashboard, the apps and every check but the five for Kubernetes are in every plan. The plans differ in how much you watch, how often, from where, and how many people and status pages they include. Compare the plans. Cancel any time.
