Telescope docs
Uptime, API, cron, and browser monitoring that tells you the moment something breaks — and stops paging you when it doesn't.
Telescope watches your websites, APIs, cron jobs, and email servers around the clock, and alerts you the moment something goes down — through the channels your team already uses.
New here? Set up your first monitor in 5 minutes.

Getting started
Create your first monitor and get your first alert — start to finish in five minutes.
Core concepts
Monitors, checks, statuses, and alerts — the vocabulary that makes the rest of the docs click.
Monitors
Every check type — HTTP, keyword, ping, SSL, DNS, cron heartbeats, and more — and when to use each.
Alerts
How Telescope decides when to page you, avoids alert noise, and tells you when you've recovered.
Integrations
Connect WordPress, your website, or your own code so their errors and telemetry flow into Telescope.
Account & team
Teams, workspaces, and roles — invite people and control who can do what.
API reference
Automate everything with the REST API — manage monitors, read check history, and send heartbeats.
WAF whitelisting
Stop your firewall from blocking the checker so a healthy site never shows as down.
Troubleshooting
Why a healthy site shows as down, why an alert didn't fire, and what SSL and domain statuses mean.
Why Telescope
- Alerts you'll trust. Threshold-based checks mean one transient blip won't wake you at 3am — but a real outage will.
- Monitors for everything. Websites, APIs, SSL certificates, domains, cron jobs, and email servers, all in one place.
- Alerts where you work. Email, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, SMS, and voice calls — routed to the right people.
