Quickstart: First Monitor and Alert Preferences

# Quickstart: First Monitor and Alert Preferences This guide follows the frontend dashboard flow and helps configure a production-ready monitor. 1. Open /monitors/new and choose monitor type: http, keyword, ping, port, dns, or heartbeat. 2. Configure URL, method, timeout, interval, retries, and expected status codes. 3. Add multi-region coverage to reduce blind spots. 4. Enable SSL/domain checks and expiry thresholds. 5. Review monitor details at /monitors/{id}. 6. Tune alerts at /monitors/{id}/alert-preferences and global settings at /notification-settings. 7. Organize with /monitor-groups and publish in /status-pages.
