Python cron heartbeat (dead-man switch)
Your cron silently stopped running. Need an alert when the script misses its window.
Recipe
python
import os, sys, requests
# После каждой успешной итерации cron — пинг heartbeat
HEARTBEAT = os.environ["HEARTBEAT_URL"] # https://enterno.io/hb/<token>
def main() -> None:
# ... ваша работа ...
try:
requests.post(HEARTBEAT, timeout=5)
except requests.RequestException:
pass # не ломаем основной job из-за telemetry
if __name__ == "__main__":
sys.exit(main())Same thing in Enterno.io
Enterno heartbeat monitors alert when the ping misses its expected window (e.g. ±2 min for an hourly job). No external containers.
