Getting Started

Welcome to siteRabbit — uptime monitoring, alerting, and status pages for modern teams. This guide walks you from signup to your first alert in under five minutes.

1. Create your account

Go to siteRabbit and sign up with your email or Google account. Every new account starts with a 12-day free trial — no credit card required.

After signup you are automatically placed in a new team. Teams are the billing and collaboration unit; you can invite team members later.

2. Add your first monitor

  1. In the dashboard, click New Monitor.
  2. Enter the URL you want to watch (e.g. https://example.com).
  3. Choose HTTP / HTTPS as the monitor type.
  4. Set the check interval — 1 minute is a good default.
  5. Click Save.

siteRabbit immediately starts checking your URL from multiple regions. Within seconds you will see the first response time appear in the monitor detail view.

3. Set up a notification channel

Without a channel you won't receive alerts. Go to Settings → Notifications and add at least one channel:

  • Email — instant, no setup required
  • Slack — paste your Slack webhook URL
  • PagerDuty — paste your Integration Key

4. Create an alert rule

Alert rules define when you get notified.

  1. Open your monitor → click Alert Rules.
  2. siteRabbit creates a default "Site is down" rule automatically. You can leave it as-is or tune the thresholds.
  3. Assign your notification channel to the rule.

5. Test the alert

Click Send test alert on any notification channel to verify delivery before a real incident happens.
