Cron Job Monitoring That Catches Silent Failures

Cron Job Monitoring Features

Full visibility into every scheduled task. One lightweight agent, zero infrastructure changes.

--monitoring
Heartbeat Monitoring

Your cron jobs ping crond.io on every run. If we don't hear back within the grace period, we alert you — before silent failures become production incidents.

--alerts
Instant Alerts

Named alert channels — define a Slack webhook or email destination once, attach to many monitors. Rotate signing secrets in one place.

--status-page
Public Status Pages

Branded status page with custom slug, title, description, and per-monitor visibility — all configurable from the dashboard or REST API.

--analytics
TimescaleDB Analytics

Spot slow-running jobs before they cause SLA breaches. Track execution duration, success rates, and trends over time.

--api
Full REST API

Manage monitors, alerts, and API keys programmatically. Type-safe OpenAPI spec included.

--agent
Agent CLI

Wrap any cron command with our lightweight agent. Automatically reports exit codes, duration, and output.

$ crond-agent wrap --name "my-job" --alert-email ops@example.com -- ./backup.sh
