Cronitor Ping API Client

Cronitor is a service for heartbeat-style monitoring of anything that can send an HTTP request. It's particularly well suited for monitoring cron jobs, Jenkins jobs, or any other scheduled task.

This bash script provides a simple abstraction for the pinging of a Cronitor monitor. For a better understanding of the API this library talks to, please see our Ping API docs. For a general introduction to Cronitor please read How Cronitor Works.

Setup

Download cronitor.sh, add it to your PATH, and make sure that it is executable (chmod +x cronitor)

Usage

Usage: CRONITOR_ID=<unique monitor id> cronitor [-...] '<command>'"
           or: cronitor -i <your cronitor id> [-...] 'command'
           -a: auth key to send for all monitor actions
           -s: suppresses output to logger command
           -S: suppresses stdout from command
           -p: disable ssl in favor of plain-text
           -e: do not sleep a few random seconds at start, reduce spikes locally and at Cronitor
           -o: only try curl commands once, even on retryable failures (6, 7, 28, 35), default 3 times
           -t: curl timeout in seconds; default 10
