Dokkit: one place that says what needs a look
Dokkit Claim a name

One place that says
what needs a look.

Dokkit watches your servers, jobs, logs and errors from a server you host yourself, and keeps the list short. In the sample below, 3 of 60 checks need you.

Put the server on at .

Then on each machine you want watched:

Brightwater

This needs your attention.

The real first screen, on a made-up company. Open a row, snooze it, mark it seen.

All of it, free.

Open source, nothing to pay for, and no account to make, except to claim a name.

What it watches, and when it says so.

When each thing needs you, and how it is watched.

WhatWhen it needs youHow it is watched
Websites and APIsThree answers in a row are wrong, or slower than the limit its file sets.An address is asked on the schedule its file sets, from the machine it runs on.
Scheduled jobsIt does not start on time, fails, or runs longer than you allow.The job reports a start and an end, or is wrapped with dokkit run.
Services and processesOne stops, or fewer are running than the count you set.Windows services, systemd units, ports and named processes.
Disks, memory, certificatesA disk is on course to fill, or a certificate expires within 30 days.Read on every machine with the dokkit program.
LogsNever by itself. Logs are for looking things up, one click from each item.Files it is pointed at, apps that log to Seq, and the libraries. Kept a year, then archived.
ErrorsNever by itself. What is new since the last deploy is one click away.From the library, or from Sentry's own SDKs, grouped by type and place.
Versions and deploysNever by itself. What broke since the last deploy is one question.The version each app reports. When it changes, that is a deploy.

A machine that goes down is one page, not one for every service on it. An issue closes itself when the thing recovers.

If you build it

An app describes itself in a dokkit.toml in its own repo. Hand an agent one link and it can do the wiring: write the file, add the library in your language, and prove it with dokkit check, before any server exists.

If you watch it

You decide who hears about what, per service: a page for the job that must run, a push for the slow portal, the morning digest for the rest. On a phone, a read-only app shows it all through a relay the server dials out to.

If you have to trust it

The program on each machine opens no port. Updates reach it over a connection it makes itself, and only the ones you approve. Releases are signed, and you can check one yourself. It runs on Postgres on your own hardware.

v0.1.54 · 21 Oct · The desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux is in the release, signed on Windows and macOS. Changelog
