What is a monitor?
A monitor is a collection of rules and alert settings that you will create for every job, task, or daemon that you want to track. To send alerts Cronitor must know when your jobs start and stop. Each monitor you create is given a unique ping URL with endpoints you will use to report these events.
What is a ping?
Each monitor is given a unique URL with endpoints like /run
and /complete
. When you make an HTTP GET request to
one of these endpoints, we call that request a ping.
