Everything You Need
From simple heartbeat monitoring to multi-channel team alerting—CronRabbit scales with your needs.
Monitoring Capabilities
Comprehensive monitoring for all your scheduled tasks, background jobs, and cron scripts.
Heartbeat (Dead Man's Switch)
Your jobs send HTTP pings to CronRabbit on successful completion. If we don't hear from them within the expected window, we alert you immediately.
- Simple GET or POST requests
- Works with any language or platform
- Automatic retry detection
Duration Tracking
Send a /start signal at the beginning of your job and we'll calculate the exact runtime when it completes.
- Millisecond precision
- Historical duration charts
- Spot performance regressions
Cron Expressions
Define your expected schedule using standard cron syntax. We parse the expression and calculate exactly when we should expect the next ping.
- Standard 5-field cron syntax
- Human-readable preview
- Timezone-aware scheduling
Grace Periods
Jobs don't always run at exactly the scheduled time. Configure a grace period as a silent buffer to account for queue delays or server load. Monitors stay green during this window.
- Per-monitor configuration
- Visual "Late" state before alerting
- Customizable alert delay
Traffic Monitor
Perfect for high-frequency jobs or queue workers. Monitor throughput rather than individual pings.
- Minimum throughput thresholds
- Rolling time windows
- Simple, immediate alerting
Alerting Strategies
Reduce noise by choosing when to be notified. Support for flexible error thresholds and noise reduction.
- Sequential: Alert after X fails in a row
- Frequency: Alert after X fails in Y time
- Immediate fallback for clarity
Exit Code Tracking
Append your script's exit code to the ping URL (e.g. /$?). We automatically log the exact error code for easy debugging.
- Non-zero triggers instant failure
- Visible alongside ping in dashboard
- Seamless shell integration
Public Status Pages
Share your service uptime with confidence. Create beautiful, public-facing status pages that keep your users informed.
- Fully customizable branding
- Show specific monitors or environments
- Subdomain support & public URLs
Alert Integrations
