Healtchecks has first class integration in borgmatic[3], and is in my opinion the better choice for cron jobs. Uptime-Kuma has a really nice interface and also supports checking hosts/services via ping or http request. It also supports "push" requests a la healthchecks but there's a weird race condition bug that makes it misfire (PR is waiting to be merged). It also has status dashboards with incidents.

I have just started using healthchecks.io . Could you tell me how to view request body part of the check using their api ? `curl --header "X-Api-Key: your-api-key" https://healthchecks.io/api/v1/checks/<uuid> https://healthchecks.io/api/v1/checks/<uuid>` does not contain the passed request body.

  The API does not return the logged request body, you can currently access it via the web UI only. Happy to discuss feature suggestions and use cases at https://github.com/healthchecks/healthchecks/discussions https://github.com/healthchecks/healthchecks/discussions !

I also use Healthchecks.io. Originally i self hosted it, but their free plan is more than generous enough for my needs (20 jobs monitored for free i think). Besides monitoring backups and cron jobs, i use it for monitoring the power state of my summerhouse. We had a problem with a breaker that would trip for no reason, and since nobody wants to arrive at a summerhouse where the fridge has been unpowered for a couple of weeks, i put a RPi Zero W up there on the circuit of the problematic breaker, and set it to call Healthchecks every 15 minutes. If it misses 2, i (might) have a problem. So far the alarm has gone off twice, both times (fortunately) internet connection releated.
