Monitor GCP Cloud Functions Triggered by Cloud Scheduler
Google CloudThe Problem
GCP Cloud Scheduler triggers Cloud Functions on a schedule, but if the function fails, times out, or Cloud Scheduler is paused, there's no proactive alert.
The Solution
Add a CronRabbit ping inside your Cloud Function to verify it ran to completion.
Integration
Add the ping at the end of your function handler. Use Python's requests or Node.js fetch with a short timeout.
Code Examples
Cloud Function with monitoring
Pythonimport requests
PING = "https://ping.cronrabbit.com/your-id"
def scheduled_task(event, context):
requests.get(f"{PING}/start", timeout=5)
try:
process_daily_data()
requests.get(PING, timeout=5)
except Exception:
requests.get(f"{PING}/fail", timeout=5)
raise
