Uptime and cron monitoring without complexity

Monitor HTTP services and scheduled jobs from EU infrastructure. Confirmation logic filters false positives. Every alert delivery is tracked. All data stays in Europe.

How it works in detail

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 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
  • All monitoring data stays in the EU — no Schrems II risk, no extra DPAs

Typical use cases

  • A Next.js API route that needs to alert on-call 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
