Checkmate is an open source monitoring tool used to track the operational status and performance of servers and websites. It regularly checks whether a server/website is accessible and performs optimally, providing real-time alerts and reports on the monitored services' availability, downtime, and response time.
Checkmate also has an agent, called [Capture](https://github.com/bluewave-labs/capture), to retrieve data from remote servers. While Capture is not required to run Checkmate, it provides additional insigths about your servers' CPU, RAM, disk and temperature status.
See [Checkmate](https://checkmate-demo.bluewavelabs.ca/) in action. The username is uptimedemo@demo.com and the password is Demouser1! (just a note that we update the demo server from time to time, so if it doesn't work for you, please ping us on Discussions channel).
Usage instructions can be found [here](https://bluewavelabs.gitbook.io/checkmate). It's still WIP and some of the information there might be outdated. Rest assured, we are doing our best! :)
See installation instructions in [Checkmate documentation portal](https://bluewavelabs.gitbook.io/checkmate/quickstart). Alternatively, you can also use [Coolify](https://coolify.io/) for a one click Docker deployment. If you would like to monitor your server infrastructure, you'll need [Capture agent](https://github.com/bluewave-labs/capture). Capture repository also contains the installation instructions.
