Monitoring
Monitor Healthchecks.io with MrCron
MrCron mirrors Healthchecks.io up, down, and grace-period counts every 5 minutes so you can see cron-job health next to your deploys and errors.
How MrCron monitors Healthchecks.io
- Up, down, and grace-period check counts on the linked account.
- Per-check down alerts routed through your notification channels.
- Alerts fire when any check flips to DOWN state.
- Auth-failure detection with an amber Rotate key CTA when the API key stops working.
- Works with both hosted Healthchecks.io and self-hosted community edition.
What you will see
Up/down/grace counts + per-check down alerts on your project.
Auth flow: API Key. Credentials are stored encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM and never returned to your browser.

Frequently asked questions
- What Healthchecks.io credentials does MrCron need?
- A Healthchecks.io read-only API key from the project settings page. MrCron stores it encrypted at rest.
- Does MrCron replace Healthchecks.io?
- No. Healthchecks.io continues to receive your job pings. MrCron mirrors its per-check state so you can see it next to Sentry, Vercel, and the rest of your stack.
- Does MrCron support self-hosted Healthchecks.io?
- Yes. When you connect the integration, point it at your self-hosted Healthchecks.io host URL.
- Can I alert on a specific check going down?
- Yes. Create an alert rule on the healthchecks_down_count metric filtered by check name and route it to any notification channel.
