Getting Started
Install HOWLOPS, run your first monitor, and wire your first alert in under 10 minutes.
What's in this section
- Install & sign up — create a workspace and verify your email.
- First monitor — add an HTTP, ping, or heartbeat check and watch it pass.
- First alert — connect Slack, email, or Telegram and trigger a test alert.
If you have used Pingdom, UptimeRobot, or BetterUptime before, the concepts here will feel familiar. The walkthroughs in this section assume zero prior setup.
When you are done, continue with Concepts to learn how monitors, incidents, and escalations fit together — or jump straight into Tutorials for ready-made recipes.
