Healthchecks.io

Great tool to monitor cron jobs and it do only this and this really well.

I joined product hunt to give this service props: it has a dedicated feature set - it does one thing and one thing well and it is very flexible and un-intrusive in how to use it. The badge feature also makes it easy to display the health of the jobs in any web environment and the notification features via Slack and email (and many more) are simple and easy to use.

Hello! I'm Pēteris Caune, the maker of Healthchecks.io, a monitoring service for cron jobs. I started this project 4 years ago (time flies!), as I needed/wanted a monitoring service like this myself, and was not satisfied with the existing options. As a solo founder I enjoy the variety of tasks – from experimenting with UI features and pixel-pushing, to tinkering with Twitter ad campaign creatives, to tweaking kernel parameters on bare metal servers. Check out the blog at https://blog.healthchecks.io to read more about my experiences building Healthchecks.io. The code powering Healthchecks.io is BSD-licenced and is developed in the open: https://github.com/healthchecks/healthchecks Self-hosting is an option, but for most people I would recommend the hosted service at https://Healthchecks.io: it has a free plan for hobbyists (monitor up to 20 tasks / jobs / services), and a $16/mo plan for businesses with significantly higher limits. If you are a developer, a devops engineer or a systems administrator looking after various small services, and have had a nagging thought "if this randomly breaks six months from now, I wonder how soon someone will notice", I welcome you to try healthchecks.io out, and let me know what you think! Thanks, Pēteris

4 years old user here. I am using Healthchecks.io to monitor almost all valuable cron jobs in my home lab. It's very easy to use. You can start easily by appending a cURL command to your existing cron jobs. I also use it with systemd-cat and flock: https://wiki.orzfly.com/topics/cron-tricks
