With Acumen Logs Heartbeat Monitoring, you create a unique check-in URL and set the expected interval (such as every hour or once a day). At the end of your cron job, database backup, or queue worker, your script sends a single HTTP request (GET, POST, or HEAD) to that URL.
One interval runs from the last ping. A ping that arrives after the interval is marked late in your history. If no ping arrives within the interval, the monitor is marked failed and a missed alert is sent. There is no agent or SDK to install.
Heartbeat monitors have their own separate allowance in Acumen Logs, so watching your cron jobs never uses up your website uptime or SSL checks:
To prevent silent webhook or integration failures:
POST or GET requests with test headers to your webhook receiver URL and assert a 200–299 response within your latency budget.
