Getting Started

Sign Up

Create an account at app.getpong.dev using your GitHub login.

Create Your First Monitor

1. Go to the Dashboard
2. Click Add Monitor
3. Choose a type:
   • HTTP — monitors a URL and checks the status code
   • SSL — monitors SSL certificate expiry
   • Heartbeat — monitors cron jobs and background tasks
4. Set the interval (how often to check)
5. Click Create Monitor

Your monitor will start checking immediately. You’ll see results on the dashboard within one interval.

Set Up Alerts

1. Go to Alert Contacts
2. Create a contact (email, Slack webhook, or generic webhook)
3. Use the Test button to verify it works
4. Edit your monitor and select the alert contacts to notify

Alerts fire on state transitions only (up→down, down→up) — no spam.

Create a Status Page

1. Go to Status Pages
2. Click Create Status Page
3. Select the monitors to display
4. Optionally set a password
5. Share the generated URL with your users
