Quickstart
This guide will help you set up your first monitor and status page in under 5 minutes.
Prerequisites
- A Statly account (sign up free (opens in a new tab))
- An endpoint to monitor (API, website, or service)
Step 1: Create Your Organization
After signing up, you'll be prompted to create an organization:
- Choose an organization name (e.g., "Acme Corp")
- Pick a slug for your status page URL (e.g.,
acme→acme.statly.live) - Select a plan (Free tier includes 5 monitors)
Step 2: Add Your First Monitor
Navigate to Dashboard → Monitors → Add Monitor:
Name: Production API
URL: https://api.yourcompany.com/health
Method: GET
Expected Status: 200
Check Frequency: 1 minuteMonitors are checked from multiple AWS regions. A service is considered "down" when checks fail from more than one region.
Step 3: Configure Your Status Page
Go to Settings → Status Page to customize:
- Template: Choose Minimal, Corporate, or Technical
- Logo: Upload your company logo
- Primary Color: Match your brand
- Components: Group monitors into logical sections
Your status page is now live at https://your-slug.statly.live!
Step 4: Create an API Key (Optional)
For programmatic access, create an API key:
- Go to Settings → API Keys
- Click Create API Key
- Name it (e.g., "CI/CD Integration")
- Copy the key immediately (it won't be shown again)
# Test your API key
curl -X GET "https://statly.live/api/v1/monitors" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_key_here"Step 5: Install an SDK (Optional)
Add error tracking to your application:
npm install @statly/observeimport { init, captureException } from '@statly/observe';
init({
dsn: 'https://[email protected]/your-org',
environment: 'production',
});
