Get started

From a new workspace to a working alert.

Create your first monitor and get an alert in Slack in about five minutes.

Run a probe inside your network to monitor services that are not on the public internet.

Monitors, checks, incidents and alerts: the four ideas the rest of Ferrow is built on.

What to watch and who to tell.

HTTP, TCP and ping monitors: every option, with sensible defaults.

Chain requests, pass values between them and assert on the final result.

Decide who is told, how, and when, with schedules and escalation.

Webhooks, tokens and the REST API.

Receive events in your own systems, verify the signature and handle retries.

Create tokens with the least access they need, rotate them and set expiry dates.

How many requests you can make, what a 429 means and how to back off.
