Silent Fail

A dead-man's switch monitor that detects when automations stop firing and sends an alert instead of failing silently. It is for developers, operations and IT staff in businesses that rely on automated workflows to run on schedule. It is delivered as a hosted service where users create monitors with an expected interval and grace period and add an HTTP GET or POST ping to the end of a workflow, with email alerts on missed deadlines and on recovery.
