Description of Healthchecks
Healthchecks.io is a service for monitoring cron jobs and similar periodic processes:
* Healthchecks.io listens for HTTP requests and email messages ("pings") from your cron jobs and scheduled tasks.
* It keeps silent as long as pings arrive on time.
* It alerts you via email, SMS, Slack, etc. as soon as a ping does not arrive on time.
Healthchecks.io works as a dead man's switch for processes that need to run continuously or on a regular, known schedule. For example:
* filesystem backups, database backups
* task queues
* database replication status
* report generation scripts
* periodic data import and sync jobs
* periodic antivirus scans
* DDNS updater scripts
* SSL renewal scripts
