How cron monitoring works

Don't let flaky cron jobs impact your application's uptime and performance. Cronitor will alert you whenever there's a problem, so you'll never be surprised by silent failures and performance regressions. Cron monitoring has 3 key capabilities:

1. A fast and flexible alerting engine that gives you control to fine-tune your alert thresholds and failure tolerances. With integrations like Slack and PagerDuty you can trust that the right person or team will be alerted if one of your jobs fails to run, runs for longer than expected, throws an exception, or exits with an error code.
2. Powerful open-source integrations for Linux, Kubernetes, Celery and more that automatically capture the status, metrics and logs from your jobs. Logs and metrics are automatically correlated with each job execution itself, making it easy to investigate problems and understand issues.
3. Track your jobs on a timeline that's easy to read and understand. Cron schedules are famously difficult to read and the timeline view is the perfect way to identify hotspots and related failures across jobs. Scroll back in time to view previous executions, and go forward to see what's scheduled next. Of course, there's a lot more to it than that, and Cronitor gives you everything you need for cron monitoring out-of-the-box, including:

Capture cron logs

Your cron logs are automatically captured and correlated with the job execution that wrote them. No more hunting through log files.

Job performance alerts

Use automatic slow job alerts or set your own thresholds and Cronitor will alert you when your job performance degrades.

Flexible notifications

Have control over when you'll be alerted with grace periods, failure tolerance and schedule tolerance settings on each job.

No silent failures

Cronitor understands your job schedule and expects your job to run on time. If it goes missing for any reason, you'll be alerted.

Cron job metrics

Track performance trends and answer operational questions with clear, fast dashboards and full year of data retention.

Your cron dashboard

Add, organize and monitor any kind of job. Understand what's running, where it's running, when it's expected, and how often it fails.
