How Vigil works
From an empty account to a full portfolio under watch — and every concept that makes the health rollup trustworthy.
Add a project
Create the client engagement. Group everything you run for them under one roof.
Point at a surface
Give Vigil a website, API or mail domain. No agent, no snippet — just a URL.
Compose a runbook
Pick rules from the catalogue and set their inputs. Vigil starts checking on a schedule immediately.
Get alerted
When something breaks, the right people hear it — with the evidence attached, before your client calls.
The whole book of business, ranked by pain
Vigil rolls every rule up to its unit, and every unit up to its project — then sorts your entire portfolio worst-first. Colour is never the only signal: every status carries a label and a shape.
Debug from fact, not a red dot
When a check fails, Vigil keeps the raw probe — the request line, the redirect chain, the DNS/TCP/TLS timing breakdown. You open an incident already knowing why.
Secrets you can use but never read
Rules often need a bearer token or basic-auth password. Vigil stores them encrypted and write-only — referenced by name inside a runbook, never displayed back, with a full access audit.
Your client’s status page, your monitoring
Promote any project to a public, white-label status page on their domain. It shows only the units you approve, in their branding — quietly powered by Vigil.
