+## Manual Quickstart
+
+The quickstart page uses a script to setup the folders for you.
+
+This page instead details how to do it manually, to provide clarity.
+
+## Step 1: Setup directory
+Create the necessary directory structure
+```
+mkdir -p observability-simple/prometheus/scrape-configs/probers
+mkdir -p observability-simple/prometheus/scrape-configs/exporters
+```
+
+
+Download these two files from github, and place in the right folder
+
+- [docker-compose.yml](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CogStack/cogstack-platform-toolkit/main/observability/examples/simple/docker-compose.yml) in observability-simple/
+- [prometheus/scrape-configs/probers/probe-simple.yml](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CogStack/cogstack-platform-toolkit/main/observability/examples/simple/prometheus/scrape-configs/probers/probe-simple.yml)
+
+### Step 2: Start the stack
+
+In the folder containing the downloaded files, run:
+
+```bash
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+### Step 3: Access the dashboards
+Open your web browser and go to:
+
+`localhost/grafana`
+
+You should see the Grafana dashboard displaying the availability of the sample web page.
+
+There it is, you can now see the availability of the cogstack homepage, as well as the observability stack

+## QuickStart
+
+This tutorial guides you through running the simplest setup of the observability stack using example configuration files and Docker Compose.
+
+After completing these steps, you will have a full observability stack running locally, showing the availability of web pages you want to target
+
+### Requirements
+
+- Docker installed ([install Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/))
+- Docker Compose installed ([install Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/))
+- A terminal with network access
+
+### Step 1: Run the Quickstart script
+
+Run this quickstart script to setup the project
+```bash
+curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CogStack/cogstack-platform-toolkit/main/observability/examples/simple/quickstart.sh | bash
+```
+Now go to "http://localhost/grafana" to see the dashboards
+
+Thats everything. The stack is running and you can see the availability.
+
+
+### Optional Step: Probe your own web page
+Now you can look at getting monitoring of your own page
+
+In your current folder, edit the file `prometheus/scrape-configs/probers/probe-simple.yml` that you downloaded from git.
+
+Add the following yml to the bottom of the file:
+
+```yaml
+- targets:
+    - https://google.com
+  labels:
+    name: google
+    job: probe-my-own-site
+```
+
+
+The change should get applied automatically, but if you dont want to wait then run
+```
+docker compose restart
+```
+
+Now refresh the grafana dashboard, and you can see the availability of google.com, it's probably 100%!
+
+
+## Next steps
+This is the end of this quickstart tutorial, that enables probing availability of endpoints.
+
+For the next steps we can:
+- Productionise our deployment to enable further features
+- Enable *Telemetry* like VM memory usage, and Elasticsearch index size, by running Exporters
+- Enable *Alerting* based on our availability and a defined Service Level Objective (SLO)
+- Look further into the available dashboards
+- Fully customize the stack with our own dashboards, recording rules and metrics

+
+See the /examples folder for a working example of running this
+
+To setup the stack for your deployment:
+- Create prometheus configurations as listed below
+- Copy this docker-compose.yml file
+- Mount your site config files into `/etc/prometheus/cogstack/site` 
+- Run with docker compose
+
+To collect metrics from VMs to fill out the dashboards
+- Run the Exporters on each VM as detailed below

+# Cogstack Observability Stack
+
+This project provides observability of a cogstack deployment.
+
+It provides the following features:
+- Dashboards for availability
+- Telemetry of infrastructure such as host memory usage, and elasticsearch index size
+- Alerting based on a defined Service Level Objective (SLO) and burn rates
+- Blackbox Probing of services to find service level indicators of uptime and latency
+- A working inventory of what is running where
+
+## Contents
+
+See the [Quickstart](./get-started/quickstart.md) to see how to easily run this stack.
