Appending curl -fsS -m 10 --retry 5 -o /dev/null https://hc-ping.com/your-uuid-here to the cron command lets Healthchecks.io catch failures such as a machine going down, cron daemon problems, non-zero exits, jobs running too long, and missing successful completions.
Healthchecks.io generates a unique URL for each monitored item; after the agent executes successfully it sends an HTTP GET request to that URL to report a heartbeat, and if no heartbeat is received within the timeout an alert is sent via email, Slack, PagerDuty, or other channels.
