# Quickstart

> Set up monitoring in under five minutes

## 1. Sign up

Create an account at [app.larm.dev](https://app.larm.dev). You can sign up with your email, GitHub, or Google. Email sign-ups get a confirmation link — click it to sign in.

## 2. Create a monitor

Go to **Monitors** and click **New monitor**. The quickest way to start is with an HTTP monitor — enter a URL and Larm will check it from multiple global locations, using majority voting to confirm outages.

See [Monitors](/monitors) for all monitor types (HTTP, TCP, DNS, Heartbeat) and configuration options.

## 3. Set up alert channels

Go to **Alert channels** and click **New alert channel**. Larm integrates with Slack, PagerDuty, email, and [many more](/alert-channels). You can send a test notification to verify the configuration works. Each monitor can be linked to one or more channels.

See [Alert channels](/alert-channels) for all channel types and configuration details.

## 4. Create a status page

Go to **Status pages** and click **New status page**. Pick the monitors to display, choose a subdomain (`yourname.status.larm.dev`), and optionally connect a custom domain.

Status pages are static HTML hosted on a global CDN — they stay up even if Larm itself has issues.
