Kristy is a baby-sitter for your processes. It reports errors to HealthCheck.io and Slack as needed to ensure no cron job falls through the cracks.

Installation

First install Go.

If you just want to install the binary to your current directory and don't care about the source code, run

GOBIN=$(pwd) go install github.com/spotlightpa/kristy@latest

Screenshots

$ kristy -h

Kristy tells HealthCheck.io how your cronjobs are doing. If it can't reach
HealthCheck.io, it falls back to warning Slack that something went wrong.

Options may be also passed as environmental variables prefixed with KRISTY_.

Options:
  -healthcheck UUID
        UUID for HealthCheck.io job
  -silent
        don't log debug output
  -slack URL
        Slack hook URL
  -timeout duration
        timeout for HTTP requests (default 10s)
