← Clesk Uptime

Cron job monitoring

A silent cron failure does not have to remain unnoticed until tomorrow.

Your job calls a personal ping URL after a successful run. If the heartbeat is missing after its interval and grace period, Clesk Uptime reports the failure.

01

Simple ping

A curl call at the end of the job is enough for monitoring.

02

Interval plus grace

Define when a delayed run should actually count as failed.

03

One alert per outage

The same missing heartbeat is not reported repeatedly while it remains down.

For everything without a public endpoint

Heartbeats reverse normal monitoring: Clesk does not call your service. Your process reports to Clesk after it has completed successfully.

  • Database and file backups
  • Imports, exports and synchronizations
  • Newsletter, invoice and reporting jobs

FAQ

What happens before the first ping?

Monitoring starts after the heartbeat URL has been called for the first time.

Do I need an SDK?

No. A regular HTTP request, for example with curl, is sufficient.

Your next successful job run can already be monitored.

Create a heartbeat, add the ping URL and define the interval.
