    • Cron Jobs on Linux – Comprehensive Guide with Examples

      I have a soft spot for cron jobs. But if you use them, I highly recommend you also use the open source runitor tool: https://github.com/bdd/runitor service. So darn handy. And you’re supporting an indie startup whose founder regularly posts on HN.

    • Show HN: Webhooked.email (2023)

      I use https://healthchecks.io [1] to track backup tasks and alert if they haven’t run in X days. With one cURL command at the start and one at the end, I also get alerts immediately if it fails, and can track duration.

    • Show HN: I built a self-hosted status page and monitoring tool for my projects

      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.

    • Webhooks suck, but here are alternatives

      In fact, your platform (https://healthchecks.io/) is a prime example of where running customer wasm would be really excellent. Instead of sending webhooks out to customer configured URLs, you could run a Wasm environment to execute customer code. Off hand, a good use case here is to do further inspection of the event before it gets sent off to some other system – maybe there are cases where you send…

    • What do you use for external monitoring?

      With Uptime Kuma and healthchecks.io, you can do everything. Uptime Kuma to monitor “services” (web server, database), and healthchecks to monitor punctual jobs (backup jobs, etc).

    • Prioritize IPv4 over IPv6 in dual stack

      Because of this block on the router, and the fact that IPv6 connections are by default preferred over IPv4, many things on the system now cannot access the internet. The only things that can access the internet are for accessing servers that ONLY support IPv4 like my mail.smpt2go or my uptime monitoring scripts for healthchecks.io.

    • Ask HN: How do you monitor your systemd services?

      If you are ok with a Saas and if it’s just scheduled jobs that you are monitoring, there are a number of monitoring tools where you tell when job completes (with a http request) and a missing ping (after a grace period) means that it failed. I think https://deadmanssnitch.com/ may have been the original service for this. https://healthchecks.io/ has a fairly generous free tier that I use now. There are others that…

    • Detecting and alerting for power failures

      You can use a service like https://healthchecks.io/ for example. There is an article describing the idea here: https://www.signl4.com/blog/monitoring-still-alive-heartbeat-check/.

    • Managing re-occurring tasks – Daily/weekly/monthly

      We use a heartbeat system. Basically the monitoring continuously sends an alert to a healtcheck system. If that heartbeat fails, PagerDuty sends an alert to the oncall.

    • Healthchecks.io setup

      I don’t run healthchecks for containers themselves, but for the server as a whole. I use Uptime Kuma in a docker container, setting it to ping to a configured check remotely on healthchecks.io every 15 minutes. That way if my server loses internet or something major goes wrong, I’ll get an email. But I ‘m the only one that uses my services besides Plex, so if something goes wrong with them individually, it isn’t a…

    • Second WAN just for notifications

      I recommend using an external service like https://healthchecks.io/ and send heartbeats from Zabbix. If x amount of heartbeats fail, then you get an alert of your choice. This way you also get notified if Zabbix stops working for any other reason.
