    Key Features

    Everything you need for Cronjob Monitoring.

    Schedule Tracking

    Define expected cron schedules. Xitoring knows when your job should run and alerts you if it doesn't check in on time.

    Failure Detection

    Detect both silent failures (job didn't run) and error exits (non-zero exit codes) automatically.

    Duration Monitoring

    Track how long each execution takes. Get alerted when a job runs significantly longer or shorter than expected.

    Simple Integration

    Add a single curl call to the end of your crontab entry. No code changes, no SDKs, no complex setup required.

    Execution History

    Full audit trail of every cron execution with timestamps, duration, and exit status for compliance and debugging.

    Smart Notifications

    Configure alerts for missed runs, late starts, long durations, or error exits — each with its own threshold.

    Why Cronjob Monitoring Matters

    Cron jobs fail silently. A missed backup at 3 AM, a failed report generation, a broken data sync — you won't know until someone asks why the data is stale. Proactive monitoring turns invisible failures into actionable alerts.

    • Catch silent cron failures before they compound
    • Track execution duration to spot performance regression
    • Monitor exit codes for error classification
    • Multi-server cron tracking from one dashboard
