Simple and Effective Cron Job Monitoring·healthchecks.io

$5–$80/mo · Free plan · Open source See pricing ↓

Healthchecks.io is an online monitoring service that uses the dead man's switch technique to alert users when cron jobs, background workers, or scheduled tasks don't run on time. Users generate a unique ping URL for each job, and the job sends an HTTP request to that URL each time it runs. If a ping doesn't arrive within a configured Period and Grace Time, Healthchecks.io sends an alert through one of many supported integrations. It also offers a live dashboard, event logs, public status badges, and an API, and can be self-hosted since it is open source.
