Cron monitoring

Cron job monitoring that catches silent failures

A cron job that stops running rarely tells anyone. WatchControl gives each job a check-in URL — if the expected ping does not arrive in time, you get alerted.

Check-in URL

Your job calls a unique heartbeat URL on each run. No agent, no inbound access — it works from anywhere your job can make an HTTP request.

Grace period

Set how long past the schedule to wait before alerting, so a slightly late job does not cause a false alarm.

Silent-failure detection

Catch jobs that die, hang or never start — the failures a normal HTTP check can never see.

Any scheduler

Works with cron, systemd timers, CI pipelines, Kubernetes CronJobs or any scheduled task.

Monitor a cron job free

Create a heartbeat monitor and grab its check-in URL — no credit card.
