|

|
|
|
+<blockquote>
|
|
|
+<p><em>Healthchecks is a cron job monitoring service. It listens for HTTP requests and email messages ("pings") from your cron jobs and scheduled tasks ("checks"). When a ping does not arrive on time, Healthchecks sends out alerts.</em></p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p><em>Healthchecks comes with a web dashboard, API, 25+ integrations for delivering notifications, monthly email reports, WebAuthn 2FA support, team management features: projects, team members, read-only access.</em><em> -<a href="https://github.com/healthchecks/healthchecks" target="_blank">https://github.com/healthchecks/healthchecks</a></em></p>
