HTTP uptime checks
Watch URLs with configurable accepted status codes, response-body matches, and response-time limits so checks reflect the conditions that matter to a service.
Bundi
Bundi is uptime and server monitoring for small teams and self-hosted systems, with URL checks, server vitals, and email alerts when services fail.
Uptime and server monitoring with email escalation
Bundi is an uptime and server monitoring service for teams and individuals who need to know when a web service stops responding or a server's resources become unhealthy. It checks URLs against defined health conditions and can collect CPU, memory, disk, and load information from servers reporting through node_exporter.
The service combines monitoring with incident handling: consecutive failures can open a single incident, and an escalation policy can email an initial recipient and then another person if nobody acknowledges the alert. URL checks require no installation, while server monitoring uses a node_exporter setup and timer on each monitored machine.
Monitoring and incident response features
Failure-threshold incident detection
Require a set number of consecutive failures before opening an incident, reducing pages caused by isolated slow responses or brief blips.
Incident grouping
Send one notification for an ongoing outage and fold repeat failures into the already-open incident instead of generating repeated pages.
Escalation policies
Build an email escalation sequence that contacts another person when the initial recipient does not acknowledge the incident.
Durable alert workflows
Run escalation waits on Temporal so delays can persist through deployments; if a notification provider is unavailable, the page is delayed rather than discarded.
Server vitals monitoring
Monitor CPU, memory, disk, and load through node_exporter reporting and a timer on each server. Bundi does not run its own agent on monitored hosts.
Who uses Bundi
Small teams without a formal on-call rota
Add a health URL, define acceptable responses and timing, and route an incident to the person responsible when the service becomes unavailable.
Teams running their own servers
Pair service checks with CPU, memory, disk, and load reporting to identify infrastructure conditions that may precede an outage.
People hosting services for clients
Monitor client-facing services and provide each client with a status page on the host's own domain, reducing the need to answer availability questions manually.
Incremental monitoring setup
Start with a single URL monitor and add server reporting or escalation workflows as the monitoring scope grows.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Supports both URL availability checks and server resource monitoring.
- Uses consecutive-failure thresholds and incident grouping to reduce duplicate or premature alerts.
- Email escalation can reach another person when an alert is not acknowledged.
- Alerting is not metered on any plan.
- URL monitoring can be started without installing software on the monitored service.
Cons
- Server monitoring requires configuring node_exporter and a timer on each monitored machine.
- Evidence documents HTTP checks, server-vitals reporting, API access on the Business plan, and email escalation, but does not establish broader integrations, notification channels, retention periods, or supported environments.
- The Free plan has relatively small published workspace limits: three monitors, one scheduled job, and one person.
FAQ
What can Bundi monitor?
Bundi monitors URLs using HTTP checks. You can define healthy status codes, response-body matches, and response-time limits. A check must fail a configured number of times in succession before an incident opens.
How does server monitoring work?
Install node_exporter on each server, configure a timer, and have the machine report its CPU, memory, and disk metrics under its declared name. Bundi also reports load as a server vital.
How does Bundi handle alerts and escalation?
You create an escalation policy that emails one person first and contacts another if the first person does not acknowledge the incident. Alerts are not metered on any plan.
How do I get started with Bundi?
No installation is required for URL monitoring. Create a workspace, add a URL, define its health conditions, and configure who should be notified. Server monitoring requires node_exporter and a timer on the monitored machine.
What plans does Bundi offer?
Bundi has a Free plan and paid Team, Business, and Custom options. The Free plan includes three monitors, one scheduled job, and one person; paid plans add higher limits and, depending on the plan, server vitals, API access, and additional seats.
