1. Add your first domain
Start by adding the website you want Viglar to monitor.
- Enter your domain name.
- Choose the checks and monitoring options available for your plan.
- Save the domain to continue with setup.
2. Verify domain ownership
Some security checks require you to verify that you control the domain.
- Add the DNS TXT verification record provided by Viglar.
- Alternatively, use the HTML verification method if it is available.
Complete verification before enabling checks that require proof of ownership.
3. Configure monitoring and alerts
Choose what Viglar should monitor and how you want to hear about problems.
- Review the available monitoring checks and enable the ones you need.
- Configure email, Telegram, Slack, Discord or webhook notifications where available.
- Check your notification settings and make sure alerts reach the right destination.
4. Explore DMARC reports
DMARC aggregate reports can help you understand which servers send email using your domain and whether those messages pass authentication.
- Review your SPF, DKIM and DMARC records.
- Use the Viglar Email Authentication Generator to prepare the records you need.
- If DMARC report collection is available for your account, follow its setup instructions and publish the required DMARC reporting address in DNS.
- Allow time for reporting mail servers to send reports, then review the data when it becomes available.
DMARC aggregate reports are not instant. Their availability depends on reporting mail servers and your DNS configuration.
5. Understand your dashboard and events
Use your dashboard and event history to understand the current state of your domains and what has changed over time.
- Review scan results to identify detected issues.
- Check events to see detected problems, changes and recoveries.
- Investigate recurring issues and adjust monitoring or alert settings when needed.
