Cron Miss
Your nightly backup didn't check in. Silence is the alert.
A dead-man's-switch for scheduled jobs. You tell the agent a job should check in by a deadline; if the check-in never arrives, it pings you. The ping names the job, when it last reported, and how long it's been silent, so a job that quietly stopped running can't hide behind the fact that it threw no error. Every time your cron task, backup, or ETL run finishes, it sends one HTTP request to the agent's check-in URL. Miss the window and the agent fires the ping on its own. Any job that can curl a URL, send a webhook, or make an MCP call can be watched. Most cron failures are invisible because nothing fails loudly. This catches the job that simply never woke up.
