To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software.

About Healthchecks.io

Written by the company

Healthchecks.io is a service for monitoring cron jobs and similar periodic processes. It listens for HTTP requests or email messages ("pings") from your services. It keeps silent as long as pings arrive on time. It alerts you as soon as a ping does not arrive on time.

When Healthchecks detects an issue, it can notify in many different ways: send an email message, call a webhook, post a message in Slack, send a SMS, send a Signal message, or call your phone.

Healthchecks is open-source (the code is BSD licensed and available on GitHub) and can be self-hosted. Our hosted monitoring service has a generous free plan (you can monitor up to 20 jobs for free) and affordable paid plans. We offer a special discount to open-source projects and nonprofits.

Some examples of jobs you can monitor with Healthchecks.io:

* Filesystem backups
* Database backups
* Daily, weekly, monthly report emails
* SSL renewals
* Network connectivity
* Business data import and sync scripts
* Antivirus scans
* Dynamic DNS updates
* Job queues
* Simple, unconditional "I'm alive" messages from your server (or your NAS, router, Raspberry Pi, ...)

Healthchecks is a Great Service

Healthchecks is a great service. It is relatively straight forward to use, has the right amount of options and facilities, and is highly reliable. It has detected and helped me fix a number of issues over the four years that I have used the service. It absolutely helps give me confidence that my servers are running properly and that my periodic tasks are performing reliably. Highly recommended.

Simple tool with a single purpose

It's a simple tool with a single purpose. And it serves that purpose perfectly. Been using Healthchecks for years and never had any issues with it.

Stop trusting your backup cron and use Healthchecks to make sure they were taken on schedule.

Really simple yet very powerful

Have used Healthchecks.io for various things for a couple of years, like tracking cron jobs and API requests. No dependencies or libraries needed, just ping a unique url and you’re done. It’s really simple yet very powerful.
