## ⚠ confused? – What Is This?

This thing is called **OneUptime**.  
It’s like Datadog, PagerDuty, StatusPage, and your favorite Slack rage—all packed into one free app you can run on your own server.

And this week it got a massive upgrade.

- Monitor websites 🧠
- Collect logs 📦
- Get alerts when stuff breaks 🚨
- Show public status pages 🟢
- Let AI fix things when you’re asleep 🤖

All without paying a single rupee.

## 📦 What’s New in July 2025?

- 🛠 **Click-click Terraform setup**
- 🧾 **Full API docs for bots & dev tools**
- 🤯 **MCP = “AI but make it Ops”**
- 🧃 **Docker = easy install, no coding**

It hit #1 trending for a reason.  
Because it makes Datadog look like an overpriced Excel sheet.

## 🧠 Wanna Feel Smarter? Try This AI Thing

They added a weird but awesome thing called **MCP Server**.  
You can literally _type_ what you want and the system does it.

Example:

> “Make a new monitor for my server”  
> “Show me logs from last 5 minutes”  
> “Raise an incident if things go boom”

Works with: Claude, GPT, or your favorite agent.

🔌 Download it from the same repo → folder named `mcp`

⚠ First release has typos like `list_onitors` (LOL yes, really). Fix is coming.

* * *

## 🧾 Terraform: The “Autopilot” Mode

If you like infrastructure magic:

You can write this:

> monitor “website” {  
> name = “My Site”  
> url = “[https://mysite.com](https://mysite.com)”  
> }

…and boom—OneUptime sets it all up automatically.

No UI clicking. Just “terraform apply” and chill.

Great for:

- Lazy devs
- Teams with 73 websites
- People trying to look smart in meetings

* * *

## 🔍 What’s Inside (In Non-Geek Speak)

- Backend: Fast stuff built in Go
- Frontend: Clicky things in React
- Logs: Stored smartly in Ceph + ClickHouse
- Traces: Jaeger/Zipkin friendly
- Alerts: Instant + loud
- Works with OpenTelemetry (send logs from anything)

Benchmarks?

- Eats 100k events/sec like popcorn
- Searches logs in \< 200ms
- Handles 1 TB/day with no drama

* * *

## 🚧 Warnings

- Change the password, obviously
- Don’t run this on a potato
- Logs & tracing need storage (cloud is better)
- MCP server still has spelling issues
- Some bugs still exist but nothing scary
