What good is the best program when you don’t know how to use it? kanla comes with excellent documentation and example configuration.

Light-weight

kanla plugins are long-running processes which consume little resources.

Extensible

You might have custom services you want to monitor. kanla has a simple plugin API and existing plugins are easy to understand.

Packagable

We believe that software should be installed through package management. kanla was designed for that and is easy to package for distributions.

IPv6 and UTF-8 are of course fully supported and the default in kanla.

Self hosted

There’s no subscription, you install kanla on your own server(s). kanla is free, open-source software (FOSS) under the BSD license.
