Quick Start Guide
Get from zero to monitoring in under five minutes. Here's the fastest path:
1. Create your account
Sign up at chglog.com/register with your name, email and a strong password. You'll receive a six-digit verification code — enter it (or click the link in the email) to activate your account.
2. Create a team (automatic)
A default team is created when you register. You can rename it later under Team Settings, or create additional teams from the team switcher in the top-left corner.
3. Create your first project
Projects group related checks together. Click + New Project in the sidebar or go to Manage Projects → Create. Give it a descriptive name like "Production API" or "Marketing Site".
4. Add a check
Click New Check in the sidebar. You'll see a step-by-step wizard:
- Choose a type — HTTP is the most common starting point.
- Configure — enter the URL, choose the HTTP method and expected status code.
- Set the interval — how often the check runs (e.g. every 60 seconds).
- Assign to project — pick the project you just created.
Hit Create Check and monitoring begins immediately.
5. Set up notifications
Go to Notifications in the sidebar. Add a Slack or Microsoft Teams webhook, then assign yourself (or the webhook channel) as a recipient on your new check. You'll be alerted the moment the check detects an issue.
6. Optional: create a status page
Under Status Pages → Create, build a public page that shows your services' real-time status to customers. Add your project or individual checks, set visibility to Public, and share the link.
