I'm excited to share a tool I've been working on that I believe could
be a game-changer for monitoring OpenAI API status: OpenAI API Status
Prober.
👉 What is it?
It's a simple yet powerful web service that acts as a proxy to probe
the status of the OpenAI API and translates its response into HTTP
status codes compatible with Prometheus Blackbox Exporter.
🔍 Why did I create this?
The official OpenAI API status endpoint always returns an HTTP 200
code, regardless of the actual API status. This is where my tool comes
in – it provides the status in a way that's actionable for Prometheus
monitoring, making your life a bit easier!
✅ Features:
\- Translates OpenAI API status to HTTP status codes (200/500/3xx)
\- Easy integration with Prometheus Blackbox Exporter
\- Available for global or local installation
\- Comes with a handy CLI for easy management
🛠 Installation & Usage:
You can install it globally for a quick setup or locally if you
prefer. There's even a production deployment available (but please
don't overload it!). Full installation and integration instructions
are in the README on GitHub.
🔗 Check it out here: [https://github.com/skywarth/openai-api-status-
prober](https://github.com/skywarth/openai-api-status-prober)
📊 See it in action: [Live Demo](https://openai-api-status-
prober.onrender.com/open-ai-status-prober/simplified_status)
📈 Prometheus & Grafana Integration:
Easily integrate with your Prometheus server. There's also a suggested
Grafana Dashboard setup for a seamless monitoring experience.


I'd love to get your feedback, contributions, or even a star on GitHub
if you find it useful. Let's make monitoring OpenAI API status easier
and more effective for everyone!
Thank you for your support and happy monitoring! ⭐️👨‍💻
