Uptime and cron monitoring without complexity
Monitor HTTP services and scheduled jobs from EU-hosted infrastructure. Confirmation logic filters false positives. Every alert delivery is tracked. External alert delivery uses the providers you configure.
Hosted in the EU
GDPR-friendly by design
No US cloud in the core monitoring path
Technical flow
How it works in detail
The operational path behind setup, detection, and recovery.
Two monitor types
- Uptime monitors check websites, APIs, and HTTP services at regular intervals.
- Cron monitors wait for heartbeats from scheduled jobs and background tasks.
Shared incident flow
- Both monitor types create incidents when Watchcat decides something is failing.
- Alerts are sent from incidents, then recovery alerts are sent when the incident is resolved.
History and retention
- Check results, incidents, and alert delivery history are stored so you can review what happened.
- Data retention depends on the active plan.
Why it matters
- Detect outages before users notice — checks run as often as every minute from EU locations
- Cron jobs fail silently — heartbeat monitoring catches missing and late runs
- Confirmation logic filters transient failures before anyone gets paged
- Core monitoring data stays in the EU — simpler GDPR compliance for EU-focused teams
Typical use cases
- A Next.js API route that needs to alert the team before users notice errors
- A nightly data sync that quietly stops running and breaks reports by morning
- An internal admin panel where no users will ever report a problem
