# Get Started

To set up your monitoring, you'll need to **create a new app** on FastLog.

Head over to **/apps** and click **New App.**

![](/files/lQ397R9juIJq2yv5t5Ks)

Once that's done, install the **FastLog SDK** in your project using this command:

```bash
npm install fastlog-sdk
```

Now you'll need to **initialize** the FastLog SDK by calling **activateFastLog** at the start of your root file. This needs an `app_id` and `user_id`. The `api_url` is your fastlog backend api url. 

```javascript
activateFastLog({
  app_id: "FOUND_IN_YOUR_APP_SETTINGS",
  user_id: "FOUND_IN_YOUR_ACCOUNT_SETTINGS",
  api_url: "YOUR_FASTLOG_BACKEND_API_URL",
  runHealthCheck: "TRUE_BY_DEFAULT",
});

```

That's it, FastLog has been set up in your app and is now ready to catch logs.
