CronGuard OSS
Open-source cron job monitoring
An open-source cron monitoring tool that helps you monitor scheduled jobs and tasks. Receive notifications when jobs fail or don't run on time. Available as Docker container and on GitHub.
The challenge
Scheduled jobs and cron tasks often run invisibly in the background. When a job silently fails or doesn't start on time, you only notice when it's too late — data hasn't been processed, reports are missing or customers complain about missing functionality.
The solution
CronGuard OSS provides a lightweight, self-hosted monitoring solution. Each job sends a simple HTTP ping at start and completion. When a ping is missing or a job takes too long, you receive an immediate notification. Fully open-source and runs as Docker container in your own infrastructure.
