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.
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.
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.
Set how long past the schedule to wait before alerting, so a slightly late job does not cause a false alarm.
Catch jobs that die, hang or never start — the failures a normal HTTP check can never see.
Works with cron, systemd timers, CI pipelines, Kubernetes CronJobs or any scheduled task.
Create a heartbeat monitor and grab its check-in URL — no credit card.
