# How do I log in to Healthchecks?

https://www.seturack.com/en/knowledgebase/article/how-to-log-in-to-healthchecks

1. In the panel, open **My servers** and click your server.
2. On the **Overview** tab, wait for the **App** row to say "Healthchecks is ready". The page refreshes itself.
3. Click **Open app**.
4. Log in with the details from the **Email** and **Password** rows. There is no setup screen.
5. Each check gives you a ping address. Send a request to it when your job finishes, and you get an alert if it doesn't arrive on time.

Further down the page, the **Username** row and the **Password** row below it are for SSH. Don't use them to log in to Healthchecks.

## Good to know

- Alerts go out by email. For that, add `EMAIL_HOST`, `EMAIL_HOST_USER` and `EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD` to `/opt/seturack/healthchecks/compose.yaml` and run `docker compose up -d`. Webhook, Mattermost and Microsoft Teams channels connect from the admin screen without extra settings. For Telegram, first create a bot with BotFather, add `TELEGRAM_BOT_NAME` and `TELEGRAM_TOKEN` to the same file, then run `docker compose exec hc python3 /opt/healthchecks/manage.py settelegramwebhook`.
- Sign-up is closed.
- The site opens over HTTPS on a free `sslip.io` address based on your IP. If a certificate can't be issued, it opens over `http://` instead. Only ports 80, 443 and 22 (for SSH) are open to the outside.
