Getting Started

Create an account​

  1. Visit isthisthing.online and click Get Started.
  2. Sign up with your email or an OAuth provider.
  3. Verify your email address.

Create a workspace​

After signing in, create a workspace for your team. A workspace groups all your monitors, incidents, status pages, and integrations. You can invite team members later.

Add your first monitor​

  1. Navigate to Monitors → Add Monitor.
  2. Choose the monitor type (HTTP, TCP, Ping, etc.).
  3. Enter the target URL or host.
  4. Set the check interval (e.g. every 60 seconds).
  5. Click Save.

The monitor begins checking immediately. You will see the status on the dashboard within one interval.

Set up notifications​

By default you receive email notifications. To add third-party integrations:

  1. Go to Integrations → New Integration.
  2. Choose a channel: Slack, Webhook, Discord, Microsoft Teams, or ClickUp.
  3. Follow the setup guide for that channel.
  4. Enable the trigger events you care about (incident created, resolved, updated).

Create a status page​

  1. Navigate to Status Pages → Add Status Page.
  2. Give it a name and pick a theme.
  3. Add the monitors you want to display.
  4. Publish — your status page is immediately available at a public URL.

Next steps​

  • Invite your team — go to Team settings and send invitations.
  • Explore analytics — view uptime, response time, and historical data in the Analytics tab.
  • Configure custom domains — point your own domain to your status page.
