Watchgoose watches your cron jobs, backups, queues, and scripts. Get alerted when a configured job misses its expected success signal or reports a failure.
Watchgoose made backup job monitoring effortless for us. When our scheduled backup job failed, we knew immediately and were able to fix it before customers noticed. That visibility gives our team confidence that important backups are running as expected and will never fail silently.
I was discovering too many cases where our clients' cron jobs would silently fail, where no one would find out for days or weeks that a cron job was broken. Watchgoose gave us and our clients the peace of mind that when a cron job breaks we will know instantly and be able to fix it before it turns into a problem.
No agents, no plugins, no infrastructure to install. If your job can hit a URL, it can be monitored.
Create a check in the dashboard, set its expected schedule (every 5 minutes, every Sunday at 03:00, cron expression, or on-calendar).
After the work succeeds, send an HTTP request to the ping URL or mail the check's unique email address. The first success starts missed-success monitoring.
If the next success signal does not arrive by its expected schedule plus grace period, the check goes down. A job can also report a failure explicitly. Watchgoose alerts your configured channels.
Use the same heartbeat pattern in cron, systemd, CI, and shell scripts.
See each check’s current status, expected schedule, and last signal in one project view, without opening every check. The preview is an example, not customer data.
Focused on scheduled-task monitoring. Tuned for teams that take reliability personally.
Ping a URL or send mail to a per-check address. When the signal is late, notify your team through 12+ email, chat, webhook, SMS, and call channels.
Standard cron expressions, human-friendly intervals, or full calendar schedules with timezone support. Grace periods absorb normal jitter.
Per-check status, last-ping timestamp, plan-limited ping history with durations and exit codes. Badges and JSON endpoints serve external dashboards.
Group checks by service and invite teammates with role-based access.
Automate check creation and use restricted keys for dashboards.
