The killer feature I need is heartbeat so I can make some device send a request every 5 min and if it’s not sent then it is down. Currently using UptimeRobot for this.

Hey mate, I'm using https://healthchecks.io/ for heartbeat monitoring my crons. It's been working flawlessly for quite some time now. The UI is super clean and easy to navigate. It's also free up to 20 monitored jobs. Note - I'm not in any way related to that project.

Thanks for sharing this.

I haven’t used the product but I remember reading about if here on Hacker News: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31488910

Thank you!

You can use also the open-source Uptime Kuma for this (actually for almost everything else what UptimeRobot knows)

I’ve considered using this. Just haven’t got around to it.

+1 for Uptime Kuma

I have been using healthchecks.io for over 4 years and I can vouch for it. Super reliable, I think it might do the job :)

Thanks for sharing!

I think that could also be helpful for ensuring scheduled jobs are running fine. I can see myself wanting this at some point.

It helps for internal servers that don’t have a public ip.

DeadManSnitch works pretty well for that
