Integrate Powerbar.io into your infrastructure in under 5 minutes.

1. Getting Started

Powerbar.io uses a simple "Dead Man's Switch" architecture. You ping our endpoint at a regular interval, and we alert you if that interval is missed.

Send a POST or GET request to your unique monitor URL:

POST https://ping.powerbar.io/YOUR_MONITOR_ID

Choose your environment for quick-start implementation:

# Simple curl request
curl -X POST https://ping.powerbar.io/YOUR_MONITOR_ID

Grace Periods: Always set a grace period slightly longer than your job's maximum runtime to avoid false positives.
Notifications: Ensure your verified email in the dashboard is correct to receive downtime alerts.
