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.
What Cronitorex does
| Capability | How it works |
|---|---|
| Cron job monitoring | Your jobs send pings (run/complete/fail); missed or failed runs trigger alerts |
| HTTP uptime checks | Cronitorex requests your endpoints on a schedule and verifies status or content |
| SSL certificate checks | Certificates are checked for upcoming expiry with configurable thresholds |
| Dashboard & history | Every event is recorded with durations and output, browsable in the web panel |
| API access | Manage monitors and send events programmatically — see the API Reference |
