Monitoring quickstart

Create your first monitor and get alerted on downtime, in under 2 minutes.

1. Create a monitor

   From your dashboard, click New monitor. Give it a name (like "Website") and enter the URL to check. An IP address works too. Hit Save.

2. You're already covered

   Your monitor is now checked every 30 seconds from multiple regions, and down or up alerts go to your signup email automatically. Nothing else to configure.

3. Add the channels your team actually watches

   Connect Slack, SMS, phone calls or webhooks from your notification channels, and invite teammates so they get alerted too.

Prefer the API?

The same monitor, created programmatically:

curl -X POST https://api.hyperping.io/v1/monitors \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${API_TOKEN}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Website",
    "url": "https://acme.com",
    "protocol": "http",
    "check_frequency": 30,
    "regions": ["paris", "london", "virginia"]
  }'

{
  "name": "Website",
  "url": "https://acme.com",
  "paused": false,
  "regions": ["paris", "london", "virginia"],
  "http_method": "GET",
  "check_frequency": 30,
  "uuid": "mon_3GhAQMYGEQuyUH",
  "status": "up",
  "ssl_expiration": 90,
  "alerts_wait": 0
}

See the Monitors API for every field, or the Terraform provider to manage monitors as code.

Manage your monitor

Everything is editable after creation: edit its settings, pause its checks, or delete it along with its history.
