Cronitor

Cronitor is a web-based monitoring service that watches your scheduled tasks and services. It works like a safety system for your computer processes. You tell Cronitor what should happen and when, and it watches to make sure things run correctly.

The platform monitors several types of services. It tracks cron jobs and scheduled tasks to ensure they run on time. It watches websites and APIs to check they stay online and respond quickly. It also monitors background processes and heartbeat signals from your systems.

When Cronitor detects a problem, like a job that did not run or a website that went down, it sends alerts through email, Slack, SMS, or other channels you choose. This helps teams fix issues fast before they become bigger problems.

Using Cronitor is simple and requires just a few steps to start monitoring:

• Sign up for a free account at the Cronitor website and get your unique API key from the dashboard.

• Choose what you want to monitor - cron jobs, websites, APIs, or background tasks - and create a new monitor for each one.

• For cron jobs, you can use the Cronitor CLI tool to automatically find and add all your existing jobs, or add them manually through the dashboard.

• Set up your schedule by telling Cronitor when your job should run. The platform will then watch for it at those times.

• Configure where you want alerts sent when problems happen. You can choose email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, SMS, PagerDuty, or webhooks.

• Add monitoring to your code using simple API calls, SDKs for popular languages, or the command line tool.
