Walkthroughs for installing the agent, wiring up integrations, configuring alerts, and turning on security and compliance features.
Add a server in the dashboard, copy the one-line install command, and run it. The agent auto-detects your OS and pulls the right package.
How the AlertKick dashboard combines infrastructure, security, alerts, and compliance onto one screen - and how to read it at a glance.
Create your first uptime monitor - HTTP checks from multiple locations, SSL expiry tracking, response-time thresholds, and the escalation policy that decides who gets told when it breaks.
Monitor cron jobs, backups, and scheduled work by having them ping a URL on success - and get paged when the ping stops arriving. Setup takes one line of shell.
The alert lifecycle from triggered to resolved - reading the alerts list, acknowledging and escalating, repeat counts, AI triage verdicts, and how every alert links back to the events or checks that raised it.
Define who gets paged first, who gets escalated to, and how long the system waits before climbing the chain. Built so no alert ever sits unattended.
Set up on-call rotations so the right person is on the hook at the right time - across timezones, without spreadsheets.
Read the eBPF security event stream - filtering by priority and AI verdict, understanding detection rules and compliance tags, and drilling into a single event's analysis.
How alert policies and detection rules fit together, and every knob you can turn - enabling policies, overriding per-rule severities, framework toggles, account-wide lists, and where the alerting thresholds live.
How AlertKick's eBPF security events map onto the MITRE ATT&CK framework - what the tactics and techniques mean, and how to use them when triaging.
Track every SSH session at the kernel level - off-hours and unknown-source alerts driven by your business hours, per-session process counts and optional command capture, and automatic brute-force blocking with a dry-run safety net.
Deny SSH by default and open it only when you mean to - timed unlocks, recurring maintenance windows, a permanent bypass allowlist for your bastion, and a heartbeat failsafe so a lockdown can never strand you.
