Overview
Healthchecks is a cron job monitoring service. Your cron jobs and scheduled tasks send it HTTP requests or emails ("pings"), and when a ping doesn't arrive on time, Healthchecks sends an alert. You can self-host it or use the hosted service at healthchecks.io.
What it does well
Each check has a period and a grace time, or you define the expected schedule with a cron expression. It has a live-updating dashboard, an event log per check, an API, more than 25 notification integrations, monthly email reports, status badges, WebAuthn two-factor sign-in and team features such as projects and read-only access. It runs on PostgreSQL, MySQL or MariaDB.
Why it’s in the collection
Healthchecks catches the silent failure of a backup or job that simply stopped running, which uptime monitors miss. It's BSD-licensed.
