Getting started

Stand up your first watch in minutes.

Four steps from sign-up to a fully monitored, alerting site — with APIs, certificates, DNS, links and cron jobs all kept under guard.

  1. 1

    Create your account

    Sign up free in seconds — no credit card. You land straight in your dashboard, ready to add your first watch.

  2. 2

    Add your first check

    Choose what to watch — HTTP/HTTPS, SSL expiry, DNS, TCP ports, domains, blacklists, security headers, broken links or page vitals — then set the URL and how often to check it.

  3. 3

    Wire up your alerts

    Add notification targets — email, Slack or SMS — so the right people hear the moment something breaks, and again the moment it recovers.

  4. 4

    Let the watch run

    YakGuard checks on schedule, confirms failures from a second location before paging, opens incidents and updates your status page. You'll know before your users do.

Cron & backups

Watch the jobs that run in the dark.

Create a Heartbeat check and have your cron, backup or pipeline hit its unique ping URL on every run. Miss a ping and YakGuard raises the alarm — so a silent failure never goes unnoticed.
