How to Set Up Heartbeat Monitoring for Cron Jobs
Detect a scheduled job that never ran using an external successful-completion heartbeat. Pulsetic rather than Kuma; adapt intervals and grace periods to your real schedule. Keep ping URLs private. No n8n wiring or handover walkthrough claimed.
About this selection
T05-L05: Learn why an external monitor can detect an automation that never ran. Start at 0:13; send the ping only after successful completion. This Pulsetic example teaches the same pattern as the book's Kuma Push monitor, not n8n wiring. Use your actual schedule and keep ping URLs private. T10-L05: See completion-based heartbeat monitoring with intervals, grace periods and missing-ping alerts. Put the ping after the pipeline succeeds and use its real deadline. This Pulsetic demonstration complements the book's external alarm, not its run provenance, drift checks or handover.
