Quick Start Guide

Get from zero to a live fleet dashboard in just a few steps.

1. Create Your Account

Sign up at peekiot.com/early-access to request access. Once you receive your signup code, head to the signup page to create your account.

2. Add Your First Source

After signing in, PEEK will guide you through adding your first source — the connection point where PEEK receives device data. You have two options:

MQTT Source
Connect to your existing MQTT broker. PEEK subscribes as a read-only client and observes messages on the topics you specify.
Webhook Source
PEEK generates a unique URL for your source. Point your devices or IoT platform to POST messages to that URL.

3. Watch Devices Appear

Once messages start flowing, PEEK automatically discovers devices and they appear on your dashboard. There is no manual device registration — devices are created from the messages they send.

Tip
For MQTT sources, the device ID is extracted from the topic path (e.g., the second segment in devices/sensor-001/telemetry). For webhooks, it comes from a field in the JSON payload such as deviceId.

4. Explore the Dashboard

Your dashboard shows a real-time overview of your fleet:

  • • Total, online, and offline device counts
  • • Messages-per-minute throughput
  • • Live throughput chart for the last 30 minutes
  • • Top devices by message count
  • • Devices that are currently offline

5. Set Up Alerts

Navigate to the Alerts tab to create rules for the conditions you care about. For example, get notified when a device goes offline or when a temperature reading exceeds a threshold. See the Alerts & Notifications guide for details.
