Our tutorials walk you end-to-end through the openstatus workflow: monitor an endpoint, get alerted when it fails, publish a status page, and communicate during an incident — then automate the whole thing from the CLI.

If you're new, follow the tutorials below in order. Each one builds on the previous and takes 5–10 minutes.

## Get started

1. **[Create an uptime monitor](/docs/tutorial/create-your-first-monitor)** (~5 min) — set up uptime monitoring for your first endpoint.
2. **[Wire up your first notification](/docs/tutorial/your-first-notification)** (~5 min) — create a notification channel, attach it to your monitor, and confirm an alert lands.
3. **[Create a status page](/docs/tutorial/create-your-first-status-page)** (~5 min) — build a public status page to communicate service health to your users.
4. **[Publish your first status report](/docs/tutorial/your-first-status-report)** (~10 min) — walk the four-state incident workflow (investigating → identified → monitoring → resolved) from the dashboard.

## Automate with the CLI

Once you're comfortable with the dashboard, manage your stack as code:

- **[Get started with the openstatus CLI](/docs/tutorial/get-started-with-openstatus-cli)** (~10 min) — install the CLI, authenticate, and export your workspace to Terraform configuration you can version-control.
- **[Manage status reports from the CLI](/docs/tutorial/manage-status-reports-cli)** (~10 min) — open, update, and resolve a status report from the terminal during an incident.
