Getting started
This takes about five minutes: create your account, add a service and share your status page.
1. Create your account
Go to signalpost.services/signup and enter your work email. We'll send you a link to verify it.
From the link, choose:
- Your company name, shown at the top of your status page
- Your page address, for example
acmeforhttps://signalpost.services/acme. You can't change it later, so pick the name your customers know you by. - A plan. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial. See Plans and billing.
Then complete checkout with Stripe. We ask for a payment method up front, but you won't be charged until the trial ends.
2. Add your first service
After checkout you land on your dashboard. Click + Add service and fill in:
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Name | What your customers call it, like API or Website |
| URL | A public endpoint that answers when the service is healthy, like https://api.acme.com/health |
| Protocol | HTTP for websites and REST APIs, gRPC for gRPC services |
| Check interval | How often we check it, in seconds (60 or more) |
| Timeout | How long we wait for an answer before counting the check as failed (up to 30 seconds) |
The first check runs within about a minute. See Monitoring services for what makes a check pass.
3. Share your page
Open View status page in the dashboard header. That's the page your customers see. Link to it from your website footer, your help center or your app's error screens.
People can follow it in any RSS reader through the feed at the end of the address: https://signalpost.services/acme/feed.xml.
Next steps
- Add the rest of your services. Starter includes one; Pro and Enterprise have no limit.
- On Enterprise, put the page on your own domain: see Custom domain.
- Pull your status into your own tools with the Status API.
