Cron job heartbeat monitoring

Ensure scheduled tasks run on time using HTTP heartbeat pings.

Cron monitors (/cron-monitors) detect silent failures in scheduled jobs — backups, reports, or batch processes that stop running without crashing your server.

Setup

  1. Create a cron monitor and set the expected interval (minutes) and grace period.
  2. Add a heartbeat call at the end of your cron script:
    curl "https://track360.site/api/cron/heartbeat?token=YOUR_TOKEN"
  3. If no heartbeat arrives within the expected window, the monitor status becomes overdue and alerts fire.
