Getting Started
Quick Start Guide
Get your first status page live in under 5 minutes. This guide walks you through account setup, creating components, and publishing your page.
Create Your Account
Sign up for a free PingBase account using your email or GitHub. After signing up, you'll be guided through the onboarding flow to create your first organization.
Each organization can have multiple team members with different roles: Owner, Admin, Member, and Viewer.
Create a Status Page
During onboarding, you'll create your first status page. Choose a name and a unique slug (e.g., your-company). Your status page will be available at pingbase.online/status/your-company.
You can customize the page with your logo, brand colors, timezone, and meta description for SEO.
Add Components
Components represent the individual services your users depend on. Go to Dashboard → Components and add your services:
- API Server
- Web Application
- Database
- CDN
- Authentication
You can organize components into groups (e.g., "Infrastructure", "Applications") for better organization on your public status page.
Set Up Monitors (Optional)
Monitors automatically check your services and update component statuses. Go to Dashboard → Monitors and create an HTTP monitor:
Name: API Health Check
URL: https://api.yourcompany.com/health
Interval: 60 seconds
Expected Status: 200
When a monitor detects failures exceeding the threshold, it automatically creates an incident and updates the component status.
Share Your Status Page
Your status page is now live! Share the URL with your users, embed a status badge on your website, or add a link in your application's footer. Subscribers can sign up for email notifications directly from your status page.
