Background job monitoring

Cron, heartbeat, and backup monitoring

Send a heartbeat after a successful job. If a cron task, import, or backup stops running, UpChecker will let your team know.

Unique URL called after successful execution
Expected interval detects a missed run
Alert when a heartbeat is late

Make silent failures visible

Monitor processes without building a health dashboard

Heartbeats work for jobs without a public page: cron, queues, synchronization, exports, and backups.

A simple success signal

Add one HTTP call at the end of a script or pipeline without installing another agent.

Schedule awareness

The service knows the expected interval and notices when a job does not finish on time.

One notification flow

Receive cron events alongside incidents from websites, SSL, and server infrastructure.

How it works

One call after every successful job

The monitor waits for a heartbeat and changes state only when the schedule is actually missed.

1

Create a monitor and copy its unique URL.

2

Call the URL after cron or a successful backup.

3

Get alerted if the next signal never arrives.

Background processes

Detect a missed cron job before your users

Add heartbeats to critical jobs and keep their status in one dashboard.
