Product updates and new features.

A user asked: "What if my script knows it failed? Do I have to wait for the timeout?" No. Add ?status=fail to your ping URL and the alert fires immediately. We also added overlap detection. If a new run starts before the previous one finished, CronSafe flags it.

The most common complaint about monitoring alerts: "It tells me something broke but not what." Now you can send your error output with the ping. It shows up right in the Slack notification.

I once dismissed a midnight alert thinking I would deal with it in the morning. Then I forgot. CronSafe now sends reminders at 1 hour, 6 hours, and 24 hours if a monitor stays down.

A backup that usually takes 5 minutes suddenly taking 45 minutes is a problem nobody notices until the disk is full. Send a /start ping before your job and a normal ping after. CronSafe measures the time and alerts if it exceeds your threshold.

Custom webhook URLs for alerting. And grace periods so a job that runs 3 minutes late on a busy night does not wake you up.

CronSafe now has a system status page at /status. Because a monitoring tool that goes down without telling you is worse than no monitoring at all.

CronSafe is live. 20 free monitors. 5 alert channels. Sub-2ms ping response.
