CronAlive

Hosted monitoring for cron jobs and websites: a heartbeat alerts you when a scheduled job stops running, with multi-region HTTP uptime checks and SSL expiry warnings in one dashboard.

Check overview: current status and next deadline, uptime over 30/90/365 days, run duration for the last 48 hours, ready-to-paste snippets for crontab, systemd, Laravel, Python and Node, and a log of recent pings with method, IP and duration.

All checks on one screen: up, late, down and paused side by side, with tags, alert channels, the expected schedule (cron expression or period) and a strip of recent run history. HTTP checks show the days left on the TLS certificate.
Telegram alerts linked in one tap: a deep link for direct messages and a ready command for group chats. Alerts also go to email, Slack, Discord, Mattermost, PagerDuty and HMAC-signed webhooks.

Creating a check: a simple period, a cron expression or a systemd OnCalendar schedule, with a timezone, a grace period and tags. The next expected runs are previewed live as you type.

What is CronAlive?

CronAlive tells you when a scheduled job stops running — the failure mode that leaves no error page and no log entry. Your job pings a unique URL on every run; when a ping is late, the alert is already in your Telegram.

Beyond "a ping arrived": /start and /fail signals with exit codes make hung and failed runs visible, and put every run's duration on a chart, so you notice the backup that quietly went from 4 minutes to 40.

The same dashboard covers the other half — HTTP uptime checks with status code and keyword matching, confirmed by a second probe from another region before anyone gets paged, plus SSL expiry warnings 7/14/30 days ahead.

Alerts go to Telegram (DMs and groups), email, Slack, Discord, Mattermost, HMAC-signed webhooks and PagerDuty, with quiet hours, repeat reminders and a delivery journal.

The service also offers a REST API with read-only and read-write keys, plus Laravel, Python and Node SDKs — in Laravel one line in the scheduler creates the check and passes its own cron expression and timezone along.
