Monitor your cron jobs.
Catch failures before your users do.

CronBeacon monitors scheduled tasks, detects missed or late runs, and alerts your team — so silent failures never reach production unnoticed.

Start Monitoring See How It Works

# At the end of your cron job, add:

curl -s -X POST \
  https://cronbeacon.com/api/v1/ingest/events \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer cb_your_token" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"job_key":"nightly_backup","event":"succeeded"}'

# That's it. CronBeacon watches the rest.

Silent failures are the most expensive kind.

A cron job fails at 3 AM. No one notices until Monday. By then, data is stale, reports are wrong, and customers are frustrated.

Most monitoring tools focus on uptime and infrastructure. Scheduled tasks fall through the cracks — unless you monitor them explicitly.

CronBeacon exists to close that gap.

Start monitoring in three steps.

Create a monitor

Add your job in CronBeacon. Define its expected schedule or cadence.

Send a heartbeat

Add one HTTP call at the end of your job. A single curl command is enough.

Get alerted

If a job fails, runs late, or goes missing — CronBeacon alerts your team by email, Slack, or webhook.

Create Your First Monitor

Built for the jobs no one watches.

Detect failures instantly

Know immediately when a job fails. No more discovering broken imports days later.

Catch late and missing runs

CronBeacon knows when a job should run. If it does not, you get alerted.

Track every environment

Monitor production, staging, and development separately. Filter by environment and tags.

Clear incident history

See what happened, when, and how often. Review past incidents without digging through logs.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Purpose-built for cron job monitoring. No bloated dashboards, no enterprise complexity.

Heartbeat monitoring

Detect missed and silent jobs with simple HTTP pings.

Failure detection

Get alerted when a job reports an error or exits with failure.

Late-run detection

Know when a job runs behind its expected schedule.

Email and Slack alerts

Route alerts where your team already works.

Webhook alerts

Integrate with any system through standard webhooks.

Environments and tags

Organize monitors by environment, team, or project.

Incident timeline

Review past alerts, state changes, and resolution history.

Team access

Invite team members. Share visibility across your monitors.

Anything that runs on a schedule deserves monitoring.

Cron jobs Scheduled scripts Database backups Data imports / exports API sync workflows Email campaigns Queue workers Billing tasks Report generation Maintenance tasks Scheduled automation

If it should run and sometimes does not — CronBeacon watches it.

A clear view of every scheduled job.

See job status, reliability scores, and incident history at a glance. No setup complexity. No dashboard overload.
