How CronDrive works

You just have to inform CronDrive when your job or script starts(optional) and ends.

To track that your job has started, you must call the URL https://job.crondrive.com/{token-job}/start

To track that your job has ended, you must call the URL https://job.crondrive.com/{token-job}/end

CronDrive will send you an alert if it has not received a tracking call (start or end). You can set the waiting time for sending alerts. You can also pause sending alerts.

Quickstart

You can monitor your cron jobs by following the steps below:

1. Register in crondrive.com
2. Create a new job indicating the cron expression



3. Add tracking calls (start and end) to your job scheduler or inside your script

Example on linux systems

Before:

0 */2 * * * partial_backup.sh

After:

0 */2 * * * curl https://job.crondrive.com/uG2Exw/start || partial_backup.sh && curl https://job.crondrive.com/uG2Exw/end
4. You will receive alerts in your email if the cron job has not started or ended

Integration with Slack

If your team uses Slack, you can set up CronDrive to send alerts to a Slack channel.

When you click on the "Add to Slack" button, you must choose the channel where CronDrive will send the alerts.
