Documentation

isituprightnow checks your services around the clock, confirms failures before it alerts anyone, notifies the right people on the channels they use and publishes the status on a page your users can trust. These pages explain every feature, setting and API endpoint.

Start here#

• Getting started — create an account, add your first monitor, connect an alert contact and publish a status page in about ten minutes.
• FAQ — short answers to the questions we hear most often.

Monitoring#

• Monitors — the nine monitor types (HTTP(S), keyword, ping, port, heartbeat, SSL certificate, domain expiry, DNS, UDP), their settings, check intervals, regions and how an outage is confirmed.
• Heartbeat (cron) monitors — let your scheduled jobs report in, with ready-to-paste examples for cron, curl, wget, PowerShell and systemd timers.

Alerts and incidents#

• Alerts — alert contacts for e-mail, SMS, voice calls, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Telegram, Pushover and webhooks; alert rules, delays, reminders and verification.
• Incidents — what happens when a monitor goes down: the incident timeline, acknowledging, comments and recovery.
• Maintenance windows — pause alerting for planned work, once or on a recurring schedule.
• Uptime reports — weekly or monthly report e-mails and the Reports page, with the change against the previous period.

Status pages#

• Status pages — public or password-protected pages, custom domains, subscribers, announcements and status badges.

Account and billing#

• Team and roles — invite people and choose what each of them can do.
• Security and 2FA — two-factor authentication, recovery codes, sessions and password rules.
• Billing — plans, payments, invoices, SMS and voice credits, cancellations and refunds.

API and apps#

• REST API — API keys, scopes, errors, the main endpoints with curl examples and the webhook payload.
• Mobile app — the Android app and its critical, alarm-style down alerts.
