Cron jobs

Give every scheduled job a deadline you can see.

Attach a scheduled job to a monitored service and send a lightweight HTTP check-in. Telesis detects missed, failed, and timed-out runs; completion-only is the default, with optional start and fail events.

What you get

One-line check-ins

Ping the reusable telemetry URL from curl, a Kubernetes CronJob, GitHub Actions, or the Telesis CLI. The full URL is shown once after creation or rotation.

Late and missed deadlines

Use a fixed interval or five-field cron expression with an IANA timezone and an editable grace period.

Optional run lifecycle

Add start and fail events, duration, exit code, and a maximum runtime when completion-only telemetry is not enough.

Service-aware response

Route failures through existing alert rules and offer incident creation without publishing anything automatically.

Why teams pick it

  • Completion-only by default; start and fail events stay optional
  • Waits for the first accepted event before deadline alerts can arm
  • Failures remain internal unless service-health impact is explicitly enabled
  • One backing check reuses alert, incident, retention, and permission workflows
