Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about MissedBeat

1

How does MissedBeat work?

MissedBeat monitors your scheduled jobs by expecting regular HTTP pings. When your cron job runs successfully, it pings our URL. If we don't receive a ping within the expected interval + grace period, we alert you immediately.

2

Can I monitor cron jobs on multiple servers?

Yes! Each monitor has a unique ping URL that can be used from any server, container, or environment. You can monitor jobs across unlimited servers.

3

Do you support GitHub Actions, AWS Lambda, or other scheduled jobs?

Absolutely. MissedBeat works with any scheduled task that can make an HTTP request - cron jobs, GitHub Actions, AWS Lambda, Cloud Functions, Jenkins, and more.

4

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time. No questions asked, no cancellation fees. Your monitors will continue working until the end of your billing period.
