Quickstart

This guide takes you from an empty account to live monitored traffic. You’ll need access to your website’s tag manager (or the ability to add a script to the page).

  1. Create a property.

    In the app, go to Properties → New property and choose your source type — Website for this guide. A property is one monitored source with one SDK token; it can cover any number of hostnames.

    Properties in Monita — one token per monitored source

  2. Pick the system you deploy through.

    Monita’s script is the same everywhere, but each flavour auto-detects extra context from your TMS — container IDs, library versions and environments:

    • Google Tag Manager — reads google_tag_manager (container, version)
    • Adobe Launch — reads _satellite (property, build)
    • Tealium iQ — reads utag (profile, version)
    • Commanders Act / Tag Commander — reads tC (account, container, environment)
    • Global — agnostic JavaScript for any other setup (Segment, Ensighten, CMS, hard-coded)

  3. Add the vendors you want to monitor.

    Click New vendor and search the catalog (Meta Pixel, GA4, Google Ads, TikTok, and 1,400+ more) or define a custom vendor by its request domain. Start with your two or three most business-critical pixels — you can add more anytime.

  4. Deploy the script.

    Open Manage → Installation guide on your property and follow the snippet for your system. Deploy it like any other all-pages tag, as early in the page as your TMS allows, then publish your container. Full per-TMS instructions: Websites.

  5. Verify events are flowing.

    Visit your site, then confirm each hop:

    • In the browser console, __monita_settings exists → the script is loaded.
    • In the Network tab, filter for collect.monita.ai → you see POST requests returning 204.
    • In the app’s Visualisation view, your vendors and events appear within a minute or two.

  6. Turn on alerting.

    Monita’s automatic engines (volume anomalies, drift, compliance) are already watching. Add custom alert rules for your specific escalations and connect Slack or Teams so problems reach the right channel.
