Getting Started with Sandglass
This guide walks you through the quickest way to get value from Sandglass—no prior monitoring experience required.
Create an account and log in
Sign up for Sandglass, confirm your email if required, and log in to access the dashboard.
Add your first monitor
Decide which website, API, or endpoint you want to monitor first, then create a monitor with a sensible interval and region selection.
Configure alerts
Add your preferred alert channels and set thresholds so you get notified when checks fail or performance degrades.
Set up a status page
Create a hosted status page, choose which services to show, and customize branding so it's ready to share when needed.
Next steps
Once your first monitor and status page are live, expand your setup with additional monitors, integrations, and best-practices configuration.
