- Ping chart

You can [try an official demo instance](https://demo.uptime.kuma.pet/) of Uptime Kuma (sponsored by the [Uptime Kuma Sponsors](https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma#%EF%B8%8F-sponsors)) before deciding to get it installed on your server.

## Usage

We install your Uptime Kuma instance at a URL like: `https://kuma.your-server.com`

When you open the Uptime Kuma’s web UI for the first time, it starts a setup wizard where you’ll create your admin credentials. You can then add monitors for web services as many as you like.

If you have enabled the [ntfy](https://etke.cc/help/extras/ntfy/) service, it is possible to set up the Uptime Kuma instance to have it send notifications to a ntfy’s “topic” (channel) when the monitored web service is down, without relaying them through servers owned and controlled by third parties.
