Sign up

Go to app.seenty.com and create your account. You can sign up with your email address or use Google authentication. No credit card is required -- the Hobby plan is free forever.

Create your organization

After signing in, you will be prompted to create an organization. This is your workspace -- all resources (domains, monitors, incidents) belong to an organization. Choose a name that represents your team or company.

Add your first domain

Navigate to Assets > Domains and click Add Domain. Enter your root domain (e.g., example.com). Seenty will immediately pull DNS records and WHOIS information.

To unlock the full scanning pipeline (subdomain discovery, technology detection, CVE scanning, and nightly scheduled scans), you need to verify domain ownership in the next step.

Verify domain ownership

Seenty uses DNS TXT records to verify that you own the domain.

1. On the domain detail page, copy the verification token provided.
2. Go to your DNS provider and add a TXT record:
   • Host: _seenty-verify
   • Value: the token you copied (e.g., seenty-verify=abc123def456)
3. Return to Seenty and click Verify.
4. If the record has propagated, your domain will be marked as verified.

Once verified, Seenty will run a full scan automatically and schedule nightly scans at 3:00 AM UTC.

Create your first monitor

Navigate to Operations > Monitors and click New Monitor.

1. Choose a monitor type: HTTP (most common), Ping, or TCP.
2. Enter the URL or host you want to monitor (e.g., https://example.com).
3. Set the check interval (default is 5 minutes on the Hobby plan).
4. Choose which regions should run the checks -- Seenty monitors from 3 global regions by default.
5. Click Create Monitor.

Your monitor will start running immediately. If the target is unreachable or returns an error, Seenty will send you an alert.

Set up notifications

By default, Seenty sends alert emails to the organization owner. To add more channels:

1. Go to Integrations > Notification Channels.
2. Click Add Channel and choose a type (Slack, Discord, Email, Webhook, etc.).
3. Follow the setup instructions for your chosen channel.
4. Assign the channel to your monitors or escalation policies.

Explore security findings

After your domain scan completes (usually within a few minutes of verification), navigate to Security Posture in the sidebar. Here you will find:

• Misconfigurations -- DNS issues, missing security headers, exposed services
• Vulnerabilities -- CVEs found in detected technologies (Ultra+ plan)
• Secrets -- Exposed credentials found in repositories (requires repository integration)

Each finding includes a severity level, a description of the issue, and remediation guidance.
