Quick setup
Follow these four steps to go from zero to monitoring:
- Create an account at signaldocks.com and confirm your email.
- Add a monitor — click New Monitor, enter the URL you want to watch, and pick a check interval.
- Configure alerts — go to Dashboard → Alerts and add an email, Slack, or Telegram channel.
- That's it. SignalDocks starts checking your endpoint immediately.
Tip: You get an email alert channel created automatically when you sign up — no extra setup needed to receive your first alert.

What happens when a monitor goes down
- SignalDocks detects 2 consecutive failures.
- An incident is automatically created.
- Your alert channels are notified immediately.
- Once the endpoint recovers, a recovery alert is sent and the incident is closed.
Key concepts
Monitor — a recurring check against a URL, port, or heartbeat endpoint.
Incident — automatically opened after 2 consecutive failures, closed on recovery.
Alert channel — where notifications are sent: email, Slack, Telegram, or webhook.
Status page — a public page showing the health of your services to your users.
