Cronhub is shutting down in June 2026. Migrate your cron job monitoring to CronWatch before then — it takes about 5 minutes.

Migrate from Cronhub to CronWatch

CronWatch monitors cron jobs the same way Cronhub does — via a ping URL your job curls on success. Swapping takes one line per crontab entry.

Migration steps

  1. 1

    Create a free CronWatch account

    Sign up at cronwatch-alpha.vercel.app/signup — no credit card required.

  2. 2

    Add your monitors

    In the dashboard, click Add Monitor for each cron job you monitored on Cronhub. Give it the same name so you can track it easily.

  3. 3

    Copy your new ping URL

    Each monitor gets a unique ping URL like: https://cronwatch-alpha.vercel.app/api/ping/<monitorId>

  4. 4

    Replace Cronhub ping URLs in your crontab

    Open your crontab (crontab -e) and replace the hc.cronhub.io/ping/... URLs with your new CronWatch ping URLs.

  5. 5

    Configure alerts

    Go to Settings → Notifications to add your email and Slack webhook for missed-ping alerts.
