Monitor DigitalOcean with MrCron
MrCron mirrors DigitalOcean droplet status, snapshot age, and monthly cost every 5 minutes so you can spot broken droplets and stale snapshots across the fleet at a glance.
How MrCron monitors DigitalOcean
- Droplet status per account (active, off, archive).
- Snapshot age warning when the newest snapshot is older than your target.
- Monthly cost roll-up across all droplets on the account.
- Workspace-wide roll-up: connect one PAT, auto-link every droplet.
- Per-project override: attach a specific droplet to a specific MrCron project.
- Alert rules that fire on droplet state changes via any notification channel.
What you will see
Droplet status, snapshot age, monthly cost roll-up.
Auth flow: API Key. Credentials are stored encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM and never returned to your browser.

Frequently asked questions
- What DigitalOcean credentials does MrCron need?
- A personal access token with read scope. MrCron stores it encrypted at rest and only decrypts it inside the sync worker.
- How does auto-linking work?
- After you connect a DO account at /integrations/digitalocean, MrCron lists every droplet on the account. You choose auto-link, manual link, or ignore per droplet.
- Does MrCron read droplet contents?
- No. MrCron only reads droplet metadata (status, region, size, snapshot list). Filesystem and workload data are never touched.
- How is monthly cost calculated?
- MrCron sums the published per-hour rate for each droplet size on the account, multiplied by 730 hours. Reserved capacity, floating IPs, and volumes are excluded.
