Getting started

1. Create an account

1. Open uptime10.com.
2. Click Sign Up.
3. Fill in your details and create a password.
4. Log in.

2. Add your first monitor

1. Go to Endpoints.
2. Click to add a new endpoint.
3. Enter a clear title (example: Homepage).
4. Enter the URL to check (example: https://example.com).
5. Choose Is the website up? for a simple reachability test.
6. Set the check interval with the slider (from every 30 seconds up to every 24 hours; default every 5 minutes).
7. Optionally set the timeout (Fast / Typical / Slow / Very slow; default Typical) for how long each probe may wait.
8. Save.

Uptime10 will check the URL on a schedule and show success or failure on your dashboard.

3. Check that it works

1. Wait one interval, or use Test on the endpoint (URL check types only).
2. Open Endpoints — you should see a green (OK) or red (problem) status.
3. Open Events to see history when status changes.

4. Optional next steps

• Group monitors with a group name (for example Production).
• Pick a color so related monitors are easy to spot.
• Share your public status page with clients or teammates.
• Use Email or API when a backup or script should report in.
