Simple but fun Monitoring.

PingReports is built by System and Site Reliability Engineers with decades of experience running large-scale infrastructures — long enough to have watched the usual monitoring tools come and go. The goal here is a simple, fun-to-use monitoring system, not yet another would-be replacement for your existing stack.

The origin story

PingReports has been in development for more than a decade. It first shipped in 2014 as an internal tool with a worldwide probe fleet, backed by a TokuMX fork of MongoDB processing tens of thousands of metrics per second. (Yes, it looked exactly like 2014 — please don't judge.) It quietly replaced several legacy monitoring systems behind the scenes, was used heavily — but only internally — for years, and eventually got mostly forgotten.

So we revamped it from the ground up. Out went the Java services and aging time-series tech; in came a fully Kubernetes-native deployment with modern queue and cache layers and a data store built for billions of rows and massive parallel processing.

What we believe

  • Quorum before paging. A single probe failing is not an incident. Two are. Default ≥2, configurable.
  • Simple, but powerful. Advanced features aren't locked behind advanced plans.
  • Affordable by design. Priced to keep the lights on — infrastructure and development — not to make anyone rich.
  • EU-hosted, EU-respected. Servers in Germany. Data minimisation by default. We don't sell anything to anyone.
  • Built for engineers, not beancounters or project managers.
