Getting Started

What's in this section

• Sign up: create a workspace and verify your email.
• Quickstart: the fastest path from zero to your first monitor and alert.
• First monitor: add an HTTP or ping check and watch it pass.
• First heartbeat: monitor cron jobs and background workers.
• First alert: connect a notification channel and fire a test alert end-to-end.
• First status page: publish uptime data publicly.

If you've used another uptime or on-call tool, the concepts here map directly — the comparison pages show the differences. 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.
