Heartbeat monitors

Find out when a cron job stops running.

Create the monitor

Choose Heartbeat when adding a monitor, and say how often the job should run. Pointsman gives you a private URL.

Call it from your job

Add a request to that URL at the end of your job. If it does not arrive on time, plus a grace period you choose, the check fails.

Good uses

  • Nightly backups

  • Invoice runs

  • Data imports that nobody looks at until they break
