CronPing
Email-only alerts. No dashboards you won't check.

Cron jobs don't satisfyingly explode.
They just quietly stop.

CronPing alerts you when nothing happened.

crontab
# Run backup every hour, then ping CronPing
0 * * * * /scripts/backup.sh && curl -fsS https://cronping.dev/api/ping/abc123

Three steps. That's it.

1

Create a monitor

Give it a name. Set how long to wait before we alert you.

2

Add a curl

Append it to your cron job. Takes 10 seconds.

3

Get an email

If the ping doesn't come, you'll know.
