Documentation

DidItCron monitors cron jobs and similar scheduled work. Your job pings a URL when it finishes. If a ping does not arrive on time, you get an alert.

• Listens for HTTP requests (“pings”) from your jobs
• Stays quiet while pings arrive on schedule
• Alerts when a ping is late past grace, or when you send a fail signal

Good fit for backups, imports, report jobs, renewals, and queue workers with a known schedule.

Not for website uptime probes, APM metrics, or log aggregation.

Concepts

Monitor

One job you want watched. Each monitor has a schedule (cron expression), a grace period, and a secret ping URL. Create monitors one by one or paste a crontab.

Status

• new — created, no successful ping yet
• up — last success arrived on time
• late — due, still inside grace
• down — past grace; alerts fire
• paused — monitoring suspended

Ping URL

Unique per monitor. Treat it as a secret. Anyone with the URL can send success/start/fail signals. Rotate it from the dashboard if it leaks.

Grace

Extra seconds after the expected run before the monitor is marked down and alerts go out. Use it for normal jitter (slow locks, queue delay).
