Cronitor

Monitor cron jobs, background tasks, and pipelines

FreemiumFree TierFeaturedAdded Jan 1, 2014

About

Cronitor monitors scheduled jobs, background tasks, and data pipelines. Alerts when they fail, run late, or take too long. One line of code tracks every execution. Supports heartbeat monitoring, check-ins from any language, and synthetic website monitoring. Replaces the silent failure problem where cron jobs break unnoticed for hours or days.
