dev.workers.cronping-oren.cronping/heartbeat-monitor · Verify this server

Create a Cronping heartbeat monitor (dead-man's-switch). Returns a ping_url to call on each successful run of your agent loop, worker, or cron job, plus a claim_token to manage it. If pings stop arriving within period+grace, Cronping raises an alert. No account required. After creating, send one verification ping (call ping_heartbeat with the returned id) to confirm setup — the check flips from 'new' to UP so you know it's wired correctly. Alternatively, pass pull_url to make a PULL check: Cronping fetches that URL on schedule and alerts if it fails — for targets that can't call a ping URL (a health endpoint, status page, or API).
