How to Ping

The Ping API is an easy way to integrate your scheduled jobs with Cron Job Watcher monitors.
To integrate your job with a Cron Job Watcher monitor, you need to ping from your cron job every time it runs.

Endpoint	Description
`https://app.eventmonitor.dev/ping/<monitor‑uuid>`	Monitor successful scheduled runs.
`https://app.eventmonitor.dev/ping/<monitor‑uuid>?type=start`	Acknowledge start of job.
`https://app.eventmonitor.dev/ping/<monitor‑uuid>?type=finish`	Acknowledge job finished.
`https://app.eventmonitor.dev/ping/<monitor‑uuid>?type=fail`	Acknowledge failure; sets monitor to ALERT.

Below are examples of how to ping your monitor using different tools and languages:

curl --retry 3 https://app.cronjobwatcher.com/ping/your-monitor-uuid >/dev/null 2>&1

import requests

try:
    requests.get("https://app.cronjobwatcher.com/ping/your-monitor-uuid", timeout=10)
except requests.RequestException as e:
    print("Ping failed:", e)

const https = require('https');

https.get("https://app.cronjobwatcher.com/ping/your-monitor-uuid", (res) => {
  console.log(`Status: ${res.statusCode}`);
}).on('error', (e) => {
  console.error(e);
});

<?php
file_get_contents('https://app.cronjobwatcher.com/ping/your-monitor-uuid');
?>

package main

import (
    "net/http"
    "log"
)

func main() {
    resp, err := http.Get("https://app.cronjobwatcher.com/ping/your-monitor-uuid")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    defer resp.Body.Close()
    log.Println("Ping status:", resp.Status)
}

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;

public class CronPing {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            URL url = new URL("https://app.cronjobwatcher.com/ping/your-monitor-uuid");
            HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
            connection.setRequestMethod("GET");
            System.out.println("Response code: " + connection.getResponseCode());
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.err.println("Ping failed: " + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}
