Quick Start

1. Get your API key

2. Send a ping

curl -X POST http://api.cronitorex.com/ping \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CRONITOREX_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "event_type": "ping",
    "monitor":    "my-first-job",
    "status":     "complete",
    "duration":   12.4
  }'

You should see {"status":"success"} and the event appear in the dashboard within seconds.

3. Wrap a real job

#!/bin/bash
API="http://api.cronitorex.com/ping"
export CRONITOREX_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
MON="my-backup"

curl -sf $API -H "Authorization: Bearer $CRONITOREX_API_KEY" \
  -d "{\"event_type\":\"ping\",\"monitor\":\"$MON\",\"status\":\"run\"}"

# your actual job here
/usr/local/bin/backup.sh
EXIT=$?

STATUS="complete"
[ $EXIT -ne 0 ] && STATUS="fail"

curl -sf $API -H "Authorization: Bearer $CRONITOREX_API_KEY" \
  -d "{\"event_type\":\"ping\",\"monitor\":\"$MON\",\"status\":\"$STATUS\",\"exit_code\":$EXIT}"

Or use the bundled shell script client.
