Documentation

Pick your starting point.

Hosted in 60 seconds, or self-host on your own infra. Either way, the API surface is the same.

Getting started

Hosted quickstart
Sign up, get a personal access token, create a monitor.
Self-host quickstart
Run the full stack on your own host.
OpenAPI spec
Machine-readable spec — generate a typed client in any language.

API for agents and scripts

The agent API, in 6 features
Rate-limit headers, signed event webhooks, scoped tokens, idempotency, error codes, tool-format URLs.
API reference
PAT auth, base URL, 21 scopes, error codes, rate limits, curl + TS + Python examples.
Interactive OpenAPI
Every endpoint with schemas + try-it-now, rendered live from the spec the API publishes.
Heartbeats / cron jobs
Receive URL spec, two-step token retrieval, end-to-end agent example.
Event webhook subscriptions
Subscribe to incident.opened / acknowledged / resolved / monitor.status_changed / log_alert.fired. Signed delivery, retry, auto-disable, full delivery log.
Verify webhook signatures
HMAC-SHA256 signature recipe with Node, Python, and Go examples. Same scheme for per-monitor alerts AND event subscriptions.

Logs

Send your first event
Pick a source. Ship in five minutes. JSON, NDJSON, OpenTelemetry, anything that speaks syslog.
Search & live tail
Type the words you remember. Live-tail at sub-100ms. KQL-lite when you need filters.
Auto-extracted facets
Every primitive JSON field becomes a click-to-filter chip. No schema to declare.
Pattern grouping
Collapse 10,000 similar lines into one template. Numbers, UUIDs, IPs, timestamps all normalize.
Error tracking
Stack-trace fingerprinting. JS, Python, Java, Go, generic ERROR/FATAL. See each bug once.
Log-derived metrics
Save any search as a time-series. Chartable, alertable, free.
Anomaly alerts
Spike-vs-baseline when "normal" varies by service. No ML to tune.
Threshold alerts
Page on-call when N matches in W seconds. Same routing as your monitors.

Log sources

AWS CloudWatch / Lambda
Subscription filter → Firehose → us. Lambda, ECS, EKS, RDS, anything CloudWatch-logged.
Heroku
One `heroku drains:add` and every dyno log line flows. No buildpack, no SDK.
Vercel
Paste the drain URL. Lambda, edge, static, build logs — all of them.
Docker daemon
Switch the log-driver to syslog. Daemon-wide or per-container. No agent.
systemd-journald
Mount /var/log/journal into our collector. Every unit, with severity preserved.
24observe collector
One Docker container for syslog, fluentforward, OTLP. The "everything else" path.

Concepts

Check types
The check primitives and when to use each.
Status pages
Public, slugged, optionally on your custom domain.
Trust commitments
What we promise about your data.
Incident response runbook
What to check, in what order, when something is wrong.

Integrations

Slack / Discord / Telegram / Teams
Paste an incoming webhook URL — done.
