Introduction to SolidPing

SolidPing is a distributed monitoring platform designed for checking the availability and performance of services across multiple protocols. It's built for teams who need reliable, self-hosted monitoring with minimal infrastructure requirements.

Key Features​

  • Multi-Protocol Monitoring - HTTP/HTTPS, TCP, ICMP Ping, DNS, and SSL certificate checks
  • Distributed Workers - Execute checks from multiple locations and regions
  • Multi-Tenant Architecture - Organization-scoped data isolation with role-based access
  • Low Resource Footprint - Single binary with PostgreSQL or SQLite as the only dependency
  • Sub-Minute Checks - Run checks as frequently as every second
  • Flexible Notifications - Slack, Discord, Email, and Webhooks

Architecture Overview​

SolidPing consists of three main components:

  1. Server - The main application that handles the API, dashboard, and job scheduling
  2. Workers - Distributed agents that execute health checks from different locations
  3. Database - PostgreSQL (recommended for production) or SQLite (for simple setups)
