Crontinel
Cron, queue and agent monitoring
About Crontinel
Crontinel is an open-source monitoring tool for the background work that keeps an app alive but never shows up on an uptime dashboard: cron schedules, queue workers, supervisors, backups and AI agent runs. The problem it exists to solve is a familiar and dangerous blind spot. A URL responding 200 tells you the web server is up; it says nothing about whether last night's scheduled job actually ran, whether a queue worker is draining or silently dead, or whether an AI agent is stuck in a 40-minute retry loop quietly burning tokens.
You install one SDK for your runtime, which auto-detects your scheduler and queue driver, then run an init command and, optionally, add crontinel check to your CI or deploy hook. From that point Crontinel reads scheduler events, worker state, queue internals and agent traces directly, without endpoint pings or per-task wrappers. Every scheduled task registers a run attempt, exit code and duration, so a missed run trips an alert before the next cron tick, typically within 60 seconds. Workers report per-supervisor status, queue depth and failed-job rate; agents report runs, tool calls, token spend and loop detection.
- •Cron And Heartbeat Monitoring - Every scheduled task registers a run attempt, exit code and duration, so a missed or late run is detected in under 60 seconds instead of surfacing hours later from an angry user.
- •Queue And Worker Visibility - Per-worker status, queue depth trends, oldest-job age and failed-job rate expose a stalled or backlogged queue that a "running" process count would hide.
- •AI Agent Monitoring - Agents are watched like any other worker, tracking runs, tool calls, token spend, model latency and loop detection so a runaway agent is caught before it shows up on the bill.
- •Framework-Native SDKs - MIT-licensed packages for Laravel, Node, Python, Go, Rust, PHP, Ruby, Rails and .NET hook into framework events with no per-task wrapping, plus a CLI that wraps any cron, Docker or Kubernetes job.
- •Routed Alerting - One alert fans out to Slack, PagerDuty, email or HMAC-signed webhooks with per-service routing, quiet hours and auto-resolve, so the right failures reach the team without drowning it in noise.
Crontinel is built for backend and platform engineers who run scheduled work in production and have been burned by a silent failure that no uptime tool caught.
