Follow this sequence to deploy your first 24/7 availability check across 12 global nodes.
1. Create Your Workspace
Sign up with your work email. Verify your domain via DNS TXT record or upload an HTML validation file to `/public/.uptimeguard-verify.html`. Your default workspace “Production” will auto-generate with a 14-day trial license.
2. Add Your First Endpoint
Navigate to Monitors > New Check. Enter your target URL (e.g., `https://api.yourapp.com/health`). Set the check interval to 60 seconds, enable TLS certificate validation, and select regions: US-East, EU-West, and APAC-Southeast. UptimeGuard will immediately begin probing from all selected locations.
3. Configure Alert Routing
Go to Notifications > Channels. Connect a primary webhook (`https://hooks.uptimeguard.io/v1/alerts`), add your Slack `#ops-incidents` channel, and set an email escalation to `oncall@yourcompany.com`. Enable the “Failover” policy to suppress duplicates during planned maintenance windows.
Understanding the Control Panel
Once your first monitor is active, the main dashboard provides real-time latency graphs, status badges, and incident timelines.
The left sidebar contains your monitor groups, while the central pane displays the availability heatmap. Each row represents a 1-minute interval, with green indicating 200 OK responses and red marking timeouts or 5xx errors. Hover over any cell to view the exact response time (e.g., 142ms from Frankfurt) and the full HTTP header payload. The right panel shows active alert rules, including the threshold for “Consecutive Failures > 3” and the current SLA compliance percentage for your selected billing cycle.
Next Steps
Expand your monitoring coverage and integrate UptimeGuard into your existing DevOps pipeline.
Advanced Health Checks
Configure JSON body validation, custom HTTP headers, and TCP/SSH port monitoring. Learn how to set up maintenance windows that automatically pause alerts during deployment cycles.
Team Management & RBAC
Invite engineers with granular permissions. Assign “Viewer” roles for stakeholders and “Admin” access for release managers. Enable SSO via SAML 2.0 for enterprise compliance.
API & Webhook Integration
Use the REST API to programmatically create monitors, fetch historical uptime data, and sync incident status with PagerDuty or Opsgenie. Authentication uses Bearer tokens scoped to your workspace ID.
