Monitoring for your nightly backups, weekly reports, cron jobs and background tasks.

Make HTTP requests to the Ping URL at regular intervals. When the URL is not pinged on time, {% site_name %} will send you an alert. You can monitor any service that can make HTTP requests or send emails.

{% site_name %} creates unique Ping URLs like this one:

{% include "front/snippets/crontab.html" %}
{% include "front/snippets/bash_curl.html" %} {% include "front/snippets/bash_wget.html" %}
{% include "front/snippets/python_urllib2.html" %} {% include "front/snippets/python_requests.html" %}
{% include "front/snippets/ruby.html" %}
{% include "front/snippets/node.html" %}
{% include "front/snippets/php.html" %}
{% include "front/snippets/browser.html" %}
{% include "front/snippets/powershell.html" %} {% include "front/snippets/powershell_inline.html" %}

As an alternative to HTTP and HTTPS requests, you can "ping" this check by sending an email message to {{ check.email }}

A quick peek of what's inside:

My Checks page

A list of your checks, one for each Cron job, daemon or periodically running task you want to monitor.

Give names to your checks to easily recognize them later. Adjust Period and Grace time to match the periodicity and duration of your tasks.

Period/Grace Time dialog
Each check has configurable Period and Grace Time parameters. Depending on these parameters and time since the last ping, the check is in one of the following states:
New. A check that has been created, but has not received any pings yet.
Up. Time since last ping has not exceeded Period.
Late. Time since last ping has exceeded Period, but has not yet exceeded Period + Grace.
Down. Time since last ping has exceeded Period + Grace. When check goes from "Late" to "Down", {% site_name %} sends you a notification.
Cron dialog

Alternatively, you can define the expected ping dates and times using a cron expression. See Cron Syntax Cheatsheet for the supported syntax features.

Grace Time specifies how "late" a ping can be before you will be alerted. Set it to be a little above the expected duration of your cron job.

Channels page

You can set up additional ways to get notified:
