About Blood Kings

How it Started

The Blood Kings Monitoring project was born out of frustration with the increasing costs and artificial limits imposed on free tiers by major cloud uptime checking providers. We believe that uptime tracking is a fundamental component of any modern application and shouldn't require paying subscription taxes for each added endpoint or telemetry node.

We set out to build a platform that combines the configuration simplicity of cloud tools with the security and data isolation of self-hosted software. Our focus is to enable anyone to monitor their complete hardware and service footprint on their own servers.

Core Values

• Privacy: Your monitoring data stays on your server, and we collect no logs. What leaves it is what you send: alerts to the channels you set up, and lookups of the server's and the probe nodes' location by IP (ip-api.com, ipapi.co).
• High Performance: Static layouts ensure fast delivery with minimal footprint on client browsers. Probing scripts run light.
• Open Development: The codebase is open source under the MIT license (the bundled PHPMailer keeps its LGPL-2.1), encouraging community audits.
