Guides and references for getting the most out of Monitoristic.

Setting Up Your First Monitor

What each setting does, how to choose the right values, and when the defaults are fine.

Telegram Integration

Receive instant downtime and recovery alerts in Telegram. Step-by-step bot setup.

Webhook Integration

Send incident and maintenance notifications to any HTTP endpoint — Slack, Discord, or custom.

Quick start

  1. Create an account and choose a plan in Settings → Billing.
  2. Add a monitor: enter the URL, keep GET and the expected status 200, and pick a check interval (every 5, 2 or 1 minutes, depending on your plan). What each setting means.
  3. Connect an alert channel: Telegram for your phone, or a webhook for Slack, Discord or your own endpoint.
  4. Optional: publish a status page for your users and schedule maintenance windows for planned work.

Concepts

Short definitions of the terms used across the app and these docs:

  • Check interval: how often a monitor runs, and the biggest factor in how fast you hear about downtime.
  • Expected status code: the response that counts as healthy.
  • Incident: the record created when a monitor goes down, closed when it recovers.
  • Maintenance window: planned downtime that doesn't trigger alerts.
