Using bash with the && operator to ping to OpsGenie is a simple way to monitor cron jobs. The solution is language and framework agnostic as it is done in the command itself. We monitor and get notified if the Crons don’t run in time with Opsgenie Heartbeat Monitoring. We are using Cronitor but there are other SAAS providers in the cron monitoring space too. One you can use for a single monitor for free is Cronitor.io.
