PulseMon
Monitors cron jobs and scheduled scripts via heartbeat pings, sending instant alerts on missed check-ins, with features like escalation reminders, ping history, overlap detection, and status pages.
PulseMon is a heartbeat monitoring service for cron jobs, background tasks, and scheduled scripts. It solves the problem of silent failures by alerting users within minutes if a job does not check in on time. The service targets developers, indie developers, and small to growing teams, with a free tier for side projects and paid plans for production workloads. It is positioned as a simple, fast-to-set-up alternative to other monitoring tools, requiring only a URL to ping and offering integrations with Slack, Discord, email, and webhooks.
