Is It Working?
Simple monitoring for your SSL Certificates, and server scripts·isitworking.info
From $1/mo · Free plan See pricing ↓
Is It Working? is a monitoring service that checks whether SSL certificates are renewing correctly and whether scheduled background scripts (like cron jobs) are running as expected. It offers 'Checkin' style dead man's switch monitoring where scripts make an HTTPS call to confirm they ran, optionally reporting timing and status codes. Alerts are sent via Slack, Pushover, or Email when certificates near expiry or scripts fail to check in or run too slowly.
