Healthchecks.io is a monitoring service for your cron jobs, background services and scheduled tasks. It works by listening for HTTP or email “pings” from your services. When it doesn’t hear from a service for a configurable period of time, it sends you an alert.
It works similarly to Cronitor, Dead Man’s Snitch and friends: you set up your cron job to make a HTTP/HTTPS request to a special, unique URL just before the job finishes. Healthchecks receives and logs these pings. It constantly checks if the pings arrive at the expected intervals. When it detects a problem, it sends you a notification.
