Cron job monitoring

Your job fails at 3 AM.
By 3:01, you know why.

CronDoctor monitors your cron jobs and scheduled tasks. When they fail, it reads the error output, diagnoses the root cause, and tells you how to fix it. One curl command to set up.

This is what you get when a job fails

CronDoctor
nightly-backupCRITICALSLOWAI diagnosed

Failed after 247s — 4x your P95 baseline of 62s. Getting slower over 3 days.

Disk full on /var/data — PostgreSQL could not write WAL segments. The backup stalled waiting for disk space, then timed out.
Suggested fix: df -h /var/data && sudo journalctl --vacuum-size=500M
87% confidence

Other tools say ‘it’s down.’ CronDoctor tells you why — and how to fix it.

How it works

Add a curl command

One line at the end of your job. No SDK, no dependencies.

We learn what's normal

Adaptive baselines build automatically from your job's history.

Get diagnosed alerts

Root cause, suggested fix, and severity — not just “it's down.”

Cron jobs, Lambda functions, data pipelines, background workers, Kubernetes, CI/CD — anything on a schedule.

Sound familiar?

Your nightly backup didn’t run

CronDoctor tells you the disk filled up during pg_dump and shows the fix.

Your ETL pipeline is taking twice as long

CronDoctor detects the drift before it becomes a failure.

Your deploy script failed silently

CronDoctor reads the stderr and diagnoses the root cause.

You inherited 30 scheduled jobs and don’t know which ones matter

CronDoctor shows you which ones are healthy, degrading, or already broken.

In 2017, GitLab lost 5,000 projects when a backup script failed silently for months. Nobody was watching.

Zero risk to try

Always returns 200

CronDoctor never interferes with your job, even if our servers are down.

60-second detection

Know by 3:02 if your 3:01 job didn't run.
