Frequently asked questions.
- What is a Cron job/Heartbeat monitor?
It works in an opposite way compared to other monitoring types. Heartbeat Monitor is the best solution to monitor endpoints inside an intranet (but connected to the internet). It’s also suitable for regular/cron jobs your website/app may be performing.
We will provide a unique URL for each heartbeat monitor to which your device/server/computer will be sending requests. Once it doesn’t arrive, you will receive a downtime alert.
- How to send HTTP requests to heartbeat monitor?
There are multiple ways to send requests to our heartbeat monitor, ensuring that your services are regularly checked for uptime and performance.
For further details on how to send requests using Crontab (Linux/Unix) or Task Scheduler (Windows), please refer to our guide.
