The silent failure problem
Some failures don't throw an error. They just stop.
A scheduled backup can stop. An invoice job can silently fail. A client website can go down at 2 AM. You don't want to discover it from a customer.

Questions, answered
Before you start monitoring.
Do I need to install anything?
For basic cron monitoring, no. PingBeacon gives you a unique heartbeat URL that your job can call when it completes. A Laravel package can make this even simpler later.
What happens if a cron job stops?
PingBeacon waits through the monitor's configured grace period. If the expected heartbeat does not arrive, it creates an incident and sends an alert.
Can I monitor normal websites?
Yes. Website monitoring is a core part of PingBeacon. You can track availability, response time and SSL status.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The early-access plan starts with three monitors, five-minute checks, email alerts and seven days of incident history.
Will PingBeacon replace application error monitoring?
No. PingBeacon focuses on external health signals and scheduled-job failures. It complements application error monitoring rather than trying to replace it.
