Q. What is Healthchecks.io used for?

Monitoring and alerting for your cron jobs, scheduled tasks, background processes, and data pipelines. Healthchecks.io alerts you when any of your jobs don't complete at the expected time, and helps you fix small issues before they turn into disasters. Healthchecks.io uses the Dead Man's Switch technique: the monitored system must "check in" with Healthchecks.io (by making a HTTP request or sending an email) at regular, configurable time intervals. When Healthchecks.io detects a missed check-in, it sends out alerts. Healthchecks.io is a great fit for monitoring cron jobs and cron-like systems (systemd timers, Windows Scheduled Tasks, Kubernetes Cron, periodic CI workflows, ...). A failed cron job often has no immediate visible consequences, and can go unnoticed for a long time. Healthchecks.io monitoring can also be used for lightweight server monitoring: ensuring a particular system service, or the server as a whole is alive and healthy.


Q. What level of support does Healthchecks.io offer?

Healthchecks.io offers the following support options:
Email/Help Desk
