Cron job and heartbeat monitoring
Backups, cron jobs, queue workers and scheduled tasks send a quick request when they finish. If it doesn’t arrive on time, you’re alerted.
How cron monitoring worksDesigned around your next action
Less noise. More “that’s sorted”.
A clear view of what ran, what didn’t and what needs attention: for the jobs that report to Pingvella, and for the websites it checks for you.
Two ways to keep watch
Use either, or both, with the same alerts, history and uptime chart.
Website uptime monitoring
Add a web address and Pingvella requests it every 5 minutes. Errors, timeouts and expired certificates raise an alert, and you get a recovery notice when it’s back.
How website monitoring worksEverything else that comes with it
Schedules with breathing room
Simple intervals or cron expressions in any timezone, with grace periods to tell a slow job from a missing one.
History you can read
Recent runs as coloured bars, a log of every ping, and the run time of each job, laid out for a quick investigation.
An uptime chart that zooms
Uptime over anything from the last hour to the last year, or any custom range you choose. Click a point to zoom from months into days, hours and minutes.
Alerts with somewhere to go
Email, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Telegram or a custom webhook, with a recovery notice when a check comes back. See the Telegram setup guide.
Incidents on record
Every outage is kept with its start, its end and its cause, whether a job reported a failure or simply went silent.
A dashboard that stays current
Statuses refresh on their own, and an on-screen alert appears wherever you are in Pingvella the moment a check goes late or down.
Team access
Share a check with view or admin access, hand it to someone else, or approve a teammate’s request to edit. See how team access works.
Laravel scheduler support
Ready-made scheduler code for each check, on its own schedule, plus a heartbeat that proves the scheduler itself is running.
