CronBeacon

Welcome to CronBeacon

CronBeacon monitors your scheduled jobs, cron tasks, and background processes. It detects two kinds of problems:

  • Failed jobs — your job ran but reported an error
  • Missing jobs — your job never ran at all (the dangerous silent failures)

When something goes wrong, CronBeacon creates an incident and sends you an alert with context — not just a red badge.

How it works

  1. Create a monitor — define a name, cron schedule, and grace period
  2. Send check-ins — append a curl call to your cron job
  3. Get alerted — CronBeacon detects failures and missing jobs automatically
