Monitor Node.js Cron Jobs

Learn how to monitor scheduled tasks in Node.js applications using the official Haspulse SDK or raw HTTP calls.

Features

Official SDK with TypeScript support (npm install haspulse)
Automatic start/success/fail with wrap() helper
Works with node-cron, node-schedule, and setTimeout
Zero-config retry and timeout handling

Code Examples

SDK with wrap()

import { HasPulse } from 'haspulse';
import cron from 'node-cron';

const haspulse = new HasPulse({
  apiKey: process.env.HASPULSE_API_KEY
});

// wrap() automatically sends start/success/fail
cron.schedule('*/5 * * * *', async () => {
  await haspulse.wrap('YOUR_CHECK_ID', async () => {
    await processQueue();
  });
});

SDK manual ping

import { HasPulse } from 'haspulse';

const haspulse = new HasPulse({
  apiKey: process.env.HASPULSE_API_KEY
});

// Manual control over lifecycle
await haspulse.ping('YOUR_CHECK_ID', { type: 'start' });

try {
  await processQueue();
  await haspulse.ping('YOUR_CHECK_ID'); // success
} catch (error) {
  await haspulse.ping('YOUR_CHECK_ID', { type: 'fail' });
  throw error;
}

Raw HTTP (no SDK)

// No dependencies needed - just fetch
cron.schedule('*/5 * * * *', async () => {
  await fetch('https://haspulse.io/ping/YOUR_CHECK_ID/start');

  try {
    await processQueue();
    await fetch('https://haspulse.io/ping/YOUR_CHECK_ID');
  } catch (error) {
    await fetch('https://haspulse.io/ping/YOUR_CHECK_ID/fail');
    throw error;
  }
});

How It Works

1
Create a check in Haspulse
Set your expected schedule (e.g., every 5 minutes)
2
Add the ping to your code
Ping the unique URL when your job runs successfully
3
Get alerted on failures
If a ping doesn't arrive on time, we notify you
