SCHEDULED TASK MONITORING
Know when a scheduled task fails to run
A scheduler can be configured correctly and still stop launching work. Upnora checks the result from outside the task by waiting for a heartbeat after it completes.
WORKS ACROSS ENVIRONMENTS
One monitoring pattern for every scheduler.
Linux cron, Laravel Scheduler, Python scripts, GitHub Actions, Kubernetes CronJobs and custom applications can all send the same simple HTTP heartbeat.
SCHEDULED WORK IS EASY TO MISS
Monitor the result, not only the schedule.
A cron entry can be removed, a workflow can be disabled, a server can become unavailable, or a task can fail before it writes a useful log. The scheduler may still look configured while the business work has stopped.
Create a heartbeat monitor with the expected interval and grace period. Add the URL provided by Upnora to the successful end of the task. If the heartbeat is missing, Upnora detects the overdue execution and can alert your team.
This is monitoring, not scheduling. Your existing environment remains responsible for starting and executing the task; Upnora confirms that it reported success.
