What is 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.
