Silent Failures Are The Most Dangerous

When a cron job fails, it usually fails silently. No error logs, no exceptions, just... nothing. You often find out only when customers start complaining.

Failed Backups

Your nightly DB backup script crashes silently. You lose 3 months of data when you actually need to restore.

Critical Risk

Stuck Email Queues

The worker process dies. Password reset emails and order confirmations stop sending. Support tickets pile up.

High Impact

Inventory Sync

Stock levels stop syncing between warehouse and Shopify. You oversell products you don't have.

Revenue Loss

Report Generation

Monthly PDF reports for clients fail to generate. You look unprofessional and lose trust.

Reputation Damage

Total Visibility for Background Tasks

PingView acts as a "Dead Man's Switch" for your scripts. If we don't hear from your job by the expected time, we wake you up.

Smart Grace Periods

Jobs don't always finish instantly. Set a grace period (e.g., "alert me if it's more than 5 minutes late") to avoid false alarms.

Execution Duration Tracking

We measure how long your job takes to run. Spot performance degradation before it becomes a timeout.

Multi-Channel Alerts

Get notified via Email, Slack, Discord, or SMS. Route critical alerts to PagerDuty or OpsGenie.
