Getting Started Overview

Seiri provides real-time monitoring for webhooks, scheduled jobs, and background tasks — no projects, no environments.
You can start tracking events immediately and gain actionable insights in minutes.

Tip: All monitoring in Seiri is unified under webhooks. When creating a new webhook, select its type: Immediate, Scheduled, or Periodic.

How Seiri Works​

Seiri provides visibility and reliability across three layers:

1. Event & Job Intake​

  • Receive webhooks instantly at your Seiri-provided endpoint
  • Track scheduled jobs or background tasks via HTTP POST/GET
  • Each execution is recorded as a chronological event

2. Monitoring & Reliability​

  • All events are validated and logged
  • Failed events are retried automatically with exponential backoff
  • Delivery guarantees ensure reliability without overloading endpoints

3. Alerts & Insights​

  • Alerts are triggered based on rules you define
  • Events can be inspected with detailed request/response logs
  • Analytics show trends, latency, failures, and performance metrics

Typical Setup Flow​

Getting started is simple:

  1. Add a webhook endpoint in the Seiri dashboard
  2. Choose the webhook type: Immediate, Scheduled, or Periodic
  3. Send events or execution signals to the Seiri endpoint
  4. Monitor logs, events, and retries in real time
  5. Configure alerts and notifications to your preferred channels

Tip: Use Immediate webhooks for critical events, Scheduled/Periodic for recurring tasks.

Why Use Seiri​

Seiri is ideal when you need to:

  • Ensure webhook delivery reliability — catch failed or delayed events and inspect request/response logs
  • Detect silent failures in jobs — know when cron jobs or background tasks fail or don’t execute
  • Get alerts before users notice — notify via Email, Slack, Discord, Telegram, or custom webhooks
  • Track performance and uptime trends — monitor latency, failures, and execution patterns
  • Improve observability without overengineering — minimal setup, no infrastructure changes
