Everything you need to monitor cron jobs
Built by a developer, for developers.
Slack, Discord, email, and webhooks. Know within minutes. Escalating reminders at 1h, 6h, and 24h until resolved.
See every ping, response time, and incident. Track uptime over 7, 30, or 90 days.
Send ?status=start before your job runs. Get alerted if a new run begins before the previous one finishes.
Share a branded status page with your users. Shows uptime, incidents, and current status.
Send your job's stdout or stderr with the ping. When it fails, the alert shows you why.
Send ?status=fail and get an immediate alert. No waiting for a missed deadline.
Set a max run time. Get alerted when a job finishes but took way too long.
Every outbound webhook is HMAC-SHA256 signed. Verify it came from PulseMon.
