+# arcline-uptime
+
+Lightweight uptime monitor for HTTP and TCP endpoints. Polls on a schedule, stores results in SQLite, sends alerts via Discord webhook or email. Includes an embedded web dashboard.
+
+No external services required — runs as a single binary on any Linux server.
+
+## Status

+
+## Usage
+
+```sh
+arcline-uptime start --config uptime.yaml
+arcline-uptime check --config uptime.yaml --monitor "Main Website"  # one-off check
