<h1>Measuring Script Run Time</h1>
|
|
<p>Append <code>/start</code> to a ping URL and use it to signal when a job starts.
|
|
After receiving a start signal, Healthchecks.io will show the check as "Started".
|
|
It will store the "start" events and display the job execution times. The job
|
|
execution times are calculated as the time gaps between adjacent "start" and
|
|
"complete" events.</p>
|
|
<p>Signalling a start kicks off a separate timer: the job now <strong>must</strong> signal a
|
|
success within its configured "Grace Time", or it will get marked as "down".</p>
|
|
<p>Below is a code example in Python:</p>

<h2>Viewing Measured Run Times</h2>
|
|
<p>When SITE_NAME receives a "start" signal followed by a regular ping or a "fail"
|
|
signal, and the two events are less than 24 hours apart,
|
|
you will see the time delta displayed in the list of checks. If the two events are
|
|
more than 24 hours apart, they are assumed to be unrelated, and the time delta is
|
|
not displayed.</p>

|
|
<p>You can also see durations of the previous runs when viewing an individual check:</p>
