Task Monitoring with Healthchecks.io

github crates.io build status issues license

task-mon is a small binary for notifying Healthchecks.io when a command runs.

This serves a similar purpose to the curl-based patterns described in the Healthchecks documentation but provides more flexibility and ergonomics. Especially for shell scripts and cron jobs, delegating health management to a separate binary allows you to focus on the task at hand.

It supports Healthchecks' advanced optional features such as reporting failures, attaching logs, and monitoring execution time.

Usage

To execute a task and ping Healthchecks.io when it completes simply invoke task-mon with the check's UUID and the command to run:

$ task-mon --uuid 1234-abcd -- some_command --to --monitor
$ task-mon --ping-key abcd1234 --slug foo -- some_command --to --monitor
$ crontab -e
# m h dom mon dow command
  8 6 * * * /usr/local/cargo/bin/task-mon --uuid 1234-abcd -- some_command --to --monitor

task-mon will run the command and ping Healthchecks.io when it completes, reporting the exit status and the last 10K of output from the process.
