Enterprise-grade uptime monitoring for DevOps

Step-by-Step Guide

Steps

Follow these three core steps to deploy your first uptime monitor and configure real-time alerting within 5 minutes.

1. Create Your StatusPulse Account

Register using your corporate SSO or a verified email address. Complete identity verification to unlock the 14-day Pro tier trial. You will receive a confirmation email from security@statuspulse.io within 60 seconds containing your workspace ID and initial API credentials.

2. Add Your First Monitor

Navigate to Monitors > Add New. Input your production endpoint (e.g., https://api.example.com/health). Set check intervals to 30 seconds, enable SSL certificate expiry tracking, and select probe regions us-east-1 and eu-central-1. Click Save to activate global DNS resolution and TCP handshake validation.

3. Configure Alert Channels

Go to Settings > Alerting. Connect your PagerDuty service via integration key, add a Slack webhook for the #ops-incidents channel, and set email escalation for your on-call SRE rotation. Run a channel health check to verify delivery latency stays under 2 seconds across all endpoints.

Integration Examples

Code Snippets

Automate monitor provisioning and alert routing using the StatusPulse REST API and Terraform provider.

Create a Monitor via cURL

curl -X POST https://api.statuspulse.io/v1/monitors \

  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SP_API_KEY" \

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

  -d '{

    "name": "prod-api-health",

    "url": "https://api.example.com/health",

    "interval_seconds": 30,

    "regions": ["us-east-1", "eu-west-1"],

    "alert_threshold": 2

  }'

Terraform Provider Configuration

provider "statuspulse" {

  api_key = var.statuspulse_api_key

  region  = "us-east-1"

}


resource "statuspulse_monitor" "webapp" {

  name            = "customer-dashboard"

  url             = "https://app.example.com/status"

  method          = "GET"

  interval        = 60

  expected_status = 200

}
