Add Your First Monitor
From your dashboard, click the "+ Add Monitor" button in the top-right corner.
Fill in these fields:
- Monitor Name - A friendly name (e.g. "My Website")
- URL - The full URL to monitor (e.g.
https://example.com) - Monitor Type - Choose HTTP, TCP, Ping, or Server

Click "Create Monitor" and your monitor will start checking immediately.
Configure Notifications
Go to Notifications in the sidebar (or navigate to Dashboard > Notifications).
Click "Add Notification Channel" and choose your preferred alert method:
Then assign notification channels to individual monitors or apply globally. You'll be alerted instantly when any monitor goes down - and again when it recovers.
