About Cronitor
Cronitor monitors scheduled jobs and background tasks. Know when cron jobs fail, when they run too long, or when they don't run at all—visibility into the batch processes that otherwise fail silently.
Ping-based monitoring requires minimal integration. Dashboards show job health across systems. Alerts notify before users notice failures.
Operations teams running scheduled tasks use Cronitor because silent job failures cause problems that surface days or weeks later.
