Healthchecks
Receive instant alerts when your cron jobs or scheduled tasks fail to run. Set up monitoring in minutes using simple ping URLs. Monitor up to 20 jobs for free.
Ensure your critical background tasks never fail in silence. This monitoring service watches your cron jobs, scheduled tasks, and background workers, sending you an immediate alert if they don't run on time. The setup process is designed for simplicity: generate a unique ping URL and have your job send an HTTP request to it upon successful completion. If a ping doesn't arrive on schedule, you'll be notified instantly.
Key features include:
- Flexible Scheduling: Define your job's schedule with simple intervals or precise cron expressions. A configurable grace period prevents false alarms for jobs that run slightly longer than usual.
- Comprehensive Dashboard: View the real-time status of all your checks, organize them with tags, and review a detailed log of pings and alerts for easy debugging.
- Extensive Integrations: Get alerts on your preferred platform. Connect with dozens of services including Email, SMS, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Opsgenie, and PagerTree.
- Generous Free Plan: You can monitor up to 20 jobs completely free, with no credit card required to sign up.
