Introduction

Cronitorex is a job monitoring platform for cron jobs, scheduled tasks, HTTP endpoints and SSL certificates.

What it monitors

• Cron jobs — detect missed, failed, or long-running scheduled tasks
• HTTP endpoints — uptime and response time checks
• SSL certificates — expiry warnings before they become incidents

How it works

Every monitored job sends a ping to the Cronitorex API at key lifecycle points:

job starts  → POST /ping  { status: "run" }
job ends    → POST /ping  { status: "complete" }   # or "fail"

Cronitorex records each event, calculates durations, and surfaces failures in the dashboard.
