Show HN: OnlineOrNot – Cron Job Monitoring
- rozenmd 3y agoHey HN, After building OnlineOrNot's uptime check system (handles websites, APIs and web apps), I wanted an independent system that could verify that the uptime check system actually runs when I expect it to (every 15 seconds). So I built Cron Job Monitoring for OnlineOrNot. It's relatively simple to setup too: you give your check a name, OnlineOrNot gives you a https://oonchk.com/ https://oonchk.com/ URL, and you curl that URL every time your cron job runs. For example: copy_backups_to_s3 && curl https://oonchk.com/xxxxx https://oonchk.com/xxxxx It supports all the same alerts as uptime checks (email, SMS, Slack, Discord, Webhooks, PagerDuty, OpsGenie, Spike.sh, Grafana OnCall).
- johng 3y agoIs there anything different from https://healthchecks.io/ https://healthchecks.io/ --- a service I've been using for free for a couple years now?
- rozenmd 3y agoOn the cron monitoring side? No, it looks like we have similar features. For the rest of the product though, OnlineOrNot additionally has: - status pages (both public and private, your users can subscribe to them, and you can use cron job monitoring to open/close incidents automatically) - monitoring for the rest of your application (websites, web apps, and APIs)
- quickthrower2 3y agoPaying for it is kind of a feature? Being serious… I have decided to use Digital Ocean for side projects and pay because it changes the relationship and expectations over chasing free tiers of stuff.
