Frequently asked questions
- What Better Stack credentials does MrCron need?
- A Better Stack API token with monitors:read scope. MrCron stores it encrypted at rest and only decrypts it inside the sync worker.
- Do I need a separate Better Stack monitor per MrCron project?
- No. Attach one Better Stack integration at the workspace level and MrCron will let you link workspace monitors to individual MrCron projects.
- Does MrCron page my on-call rotation?
- No. MrCron surfaces the state change and routes an alert on the state metric. On-call rotation remains Better Stack's responsibility.
- How is uptime percent calculated?
- MrCron mirrors the Better Stack API uptime field for the last 30 days, matching what you see in the Better Stack UI.
