Probesite

pip install cognis-probesite
probesite scan .            # → prioritized findings in seconds

🔎 Example output

Real, reproducible output from the tool — runs offline:

$ probesite-emit --version
probesite 0.1.0

$ probesite-emit --help
usage: probesite [-h] [--version] {run} ...

Synthetic uptime/latency checks exported to Prometheus.

positional arguments:
  {run}
    run       Run all checks in a check file.

options:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  --version   show program's version number and exit

Blocks above are real probesite output — reproduce them from a clone.

Sample result format (illustrative values — run on your own data for real findings):

Usage — step by step

probesite runs synthetic uptime/latency checks from a JSON check file and exports the results, including Prometheus metrics. Console script: probesite.

1. Install:

   pipx install probesite     # or: pip install probesite
   

2. Run all checks in a JSON check file and print a status table:

   probesite run checks.json
   

   Exit 0 = everything healthy, 1 = anything down or degraded.
3. Emit JSON for dashboards or piping:

   probesite run checks.json --format json | jq '.summary.availability'
   

4. Export Prometheus text-format metrics for scraping:

   probesite run checks.json --prometheus > /var/lib/node_exporter/probesite.prom
   

5. Use it as a CI / cron health gate — fail when availability drops:

   probesite run checks.json || echo "synthetic checks degraded/down — alerting"

Why probesite?

synthetic monitoring

probesite is single-purpose, scriptable, and self-hostable: point it at a target, get prioritized results in the format your workflow already speaks (table · JSON · SARIF), gate CI on it, and let agents drive it over MCP.

Features

• ✅ Load Checks
• ✅ Evaluate
• ✅ Run Check
• ✅ Run Checks
• ✅ Summarize
• ✅ To Prometheus
• ✅ Runs on Linux/macOS/Windows · Docker · devcontainer
• ✅ Ports in Python, JavaScript, Go, and Rust (ports/)

Quick start

pip install cognis-probesite
probesite --version
probesite scan .                       # scan current project
probesite scan . --format json         # machine-readable
probesite scan . --fail-on high        # CI gate (non-zero exit)

Example

$ probesite scan .
  [HIGH    ] PRO-001  example finding             (./src/app.py)
  [MEDIUM  ] PRO-002  another signal              (./config.yaml)

Use it from any AI stack

probesite is interoperable with every popular way of using AI:

• MCP server — probesite mcp (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cognis.Studio, uncensored-fleet)
• OpenAI-compatible / JSON — pipe probesite scan . --format json into any agent or LLM
• LangChain · CrewAI · AutoGen · LlamaIndex — wrap the CLI/JSON as a tool in one line
• CI / scripts — exit codes + SARIF for non-AI pipelines

How it compares

	Cognis probesite	Upright
Self-hostable, no account	✅	varies
Single command, zero config	✅	⚠️
JSON + SARIF for CI	✅	varies
MCP-native (AI agents)	✅	❌
Polyglot ports (JS/Go/Rust)	✅	❌
Open license	✅ COCL	varies

Built in the spirit of Upright, re-framed the Cognis way. Missing a credit? Open a PR.

Integrations

Pipes into your stack: SARIF for code-scanning, JSON for anything, an MCP server (probesite mcp) for AI agents, and a webhook forwarder for SIEM/Slack/Jira. See docs/INTEGRATIONS.md.
