Core Concepts​

Before getting started, it helps to understand a few key concepts:

Targets​

Targets are the endpoints you want to monitor (websites, APIs, or services).

Checks​

Ninja Uptime continuously checks your targets at a defined interval to verify availability and performance.

Alerts​

Alerts notify you when something goes wrong based on your alert configuration.

Incidents​

An incident is created when a target fails a check and remains open until the issue is resolved.

Typical Workflow​

Most users follow this setup process:

  1. Create a target
  2. Configure alerting
  3. Monitor status and incidents
  4. Share status via status pages (optional)
