Cronping is a heartbeat monitoring platform built for developers, DevOps engineers, and SREs who run scheduled tasks and can't afford silent failures.
Cron jobs fail silently. A backup that stopped running, an invoice that was never generated, a report that was never sent, these failures can go undetected for days or weeks. Cronping solves this with a single curl command.
How it works:
- Create a monitor in Cronping
- Add curl https://ping.cronping.com/abc123 to your cron job
- If the ping doesn't arrive on schedule, you get an alert instantly
Key features:
- Monitors for cron jobs, bash scripts, ETL pipelines, Kubernetes CronJobs, and any scheduled task
- Alerts via Slack, Discord, Email, Teams, Telegram, PagerDuty, and Webhooks
- Context-Aware Monitoring: send a JSON payload and set alert rules based on specific fields (e.g., alert if rows_processed == 0)
- Cron expression support with configurable grace periods
- Multi-tenant: manage monitors across teams and organizations
- Generous free plan, no credit card required
