Wire CronCanary into whatever runs your jobs. Pick your stack:
Get notified when a scheduled crontab job fails silently — the daemon never fired, the box was down, or the script hung.
Wrap any script so success, failure, and run duration are all reported — including the exact exit code.
Ping from any Python scheduler — a plain script, APScheduler, or Celery beat.
Native fetch (Node 18+) — works with node-cron, Agenda, BullMQ, or a bare interval.
GitHub silently disables scheduled workflows on inactive repos and skips runs under load. A dead-man's-switch catches it.
Every check has a unique ping URL. Your job calls it on each successful run. Append /start to mark a run beginning (duration + hung-job detection), /fail for an explicit failure (immediate alert), or /<exit-code> to report a shell exit status. Miss a ping past the grace period and CronCanary alerts every channel attached to the check.
