Getting started

Monitor your first cron job in a few minutes.

1. Create a check

In your workspace, open Numo Beat, pick a project, and click Create check. Give it a name and a schedule — either a simple interval (“every 15 minutes”) or a full cron expression. Set a grace period so a slightly-late ping doesn't trigger a false alarm.

2. Ping the URL from your job

Each check has a unique ping URL. Have your job hit it after it finishes successfully. The simplest form is a single line at the end of your script:

curl -fsS -m 10 https://api.numo.sh/p/your-check-token

The check detail page has copy-paste snippets for cURL, crontab, Python, Node.js, Go, Ruby, PHP, and PowerShell. See Pinging & status for the details.

3. Get alerted when it's late

If a ping doesn't arrive within the schedule plus grace period, Numo marks the check down and notifies your team. Connect an email, Slack, or Discord channel and attach it to your checks — see Alert channels.

That's it.Your job now reports in on every run, and you hear about it the moment it doesn't.
