Once you install the app, it will ask you to set it up on the app configuration page. The setup only contains options related to configuring a proxy server. If no proxy server is used, you can just press save.
You will need to create an input to define the websites that you would like to monitor. You can setup a new input using Splunk's manager at Settings » Data Inputs » Website Availability Check. The input is straightforward. You can ignore the "Configuration" parameter unless you want to use different proxy servers for different inputs.
See the links below for answers to frequently asked questions:
What kind of response time from my website should I expect?"
I configured an input but it isn't working, how do I debug it?
How do I use different proxies for different inputs?
How do I allow non-admins to make new website monitoring inputs?
