Celery Background Job Monitoring

Monitor your Celery background tasks with CronHook. Track task execution, detect stalls, and get alerted when workers go silent.

Quick Setup

Create a free CronHook check, copy your ping URL, and add it to your Celery / Python setup:

Celery / Python
# In your Celery task
import requests

@app.task
def my_task():
    try:
        # Your task logic
        requests.get('https://cronhook.site/ping/YOUR_CHECK_ID')
    except Exception:
        requests.get('https://cronhook.site/ping/YOUR_CHECK_ID/fail')

How It Works

  1. Create a check — Give it a name, set the expected period (e.g. 5 minutes).
  2. Add the ping — Add the curl request (or HTTP call) at the end of your task.
  3. Get alerted — If the ping doesn't arrive on time, CronHook alerts you via Email, Slack, or Discord.
