Cron / Heartbeat monitoring

You send an HTTP POST with a JSON payload. We handle the rest.

Three lifecycle states: run (job started), complete (success), fail (error). Plus optional skip (cycle intentionally skipped, e.g. weekend).
Heartbeat-only mode. Skip run/complete, just have the job ping once every X seconds. No ping = alert.
Expected interval + grace period. Tell us “this job runs hourly, 5 minute grace”. Cronitorex detects missed runs automatically.
Duration tracking. Every complete ping carries a duration in seconds, so you spot slowdowns early.
Exit code + stderr capture. With fail you can send exit_code and error_output (up to 64KB of stderr). The dashboard shows what blew up.
Tags + project metadata. Group monitors. Multi-tenant via tags (great for agencies).
State transitions audit. Every event has timestamp, host, source. CSV export, date filtering.

Our built-in scheduler hits your endpoints for you.

Configurable interval. 30s / 60s / 5min / 15min / 1h (depends on plan).
Expected status codes. Default 2xx-3xx. Require a specific 200 or a range like 200-299.
Response time threshold. Alert when response time > N ms (for N consecutive checks).
Retry logic. 3 attempts before flagging “down” (protects against flaky networks).
Methods: GET, POST, HEAD. Custom headers, custom body, basic auth, bearer tokens.
Body content assertion. “Response must contain string X” or “must not contain string Y”.
Multi-region (planned). Today we probe from a single EU location; multi-region is planned.

Alert routing. Per monitor + per tag + per project. Backup channel if primary fails.
Quiet hours. Mute alerts on weekends / overnight (per channel).
Grouped alerts. Multiple jobs failing at once? One message, not spam.
Re-alerting. Repeat alert every X minutes until acknowledged.
Resolved notifications. Notify when a monitor recovers to “ok”.

Live event stream. Every ping visible within seconds of arrival.
Timeline view. All monitors side-by-side, colour-coded by state.
Failure analytics. Top failing monitors, average failure rate, time-of-day patterns.
Slowest jobs. Duration histogram per monitor, p50 / p95 / p99.
Health Map. Grid of every monitor, locate problems at a glance.
Filters / search. By tag, project, host, date.

REST + JSON. Single /ping endpoint, simple payload.
Bearer token auth. API key per user, rotation from the panel.
Rate limiting. Per-IP + per-user, fair use.
Swagger UI + Postman collection. Interactive testing.
GET pings. We accept GET pings via query params for legacy systems (cron, healthcheck.sh).
