Don't wait for a client to tell you the nightly database backup failed. PingStag monitors your background processes passively and alerts you if they go silent.
Completely agentless architecture. No heavy software to install on your Linux servers or Docker containers.
Perfect for tracking MySQL dumps, recurring billing scripts, and automated daily data syncs that don't have public HTTP endpoints.
Append our unique webhook URL to your script. If PingStag doesn't receive a 'success ping' within 24 hours, an incident is triggered.
The most reliable method is 'Heartbeat Monitoring'. PingStag generates a unique Webhook URL. You simply append a cURL request (e.g., curl -X GET https://pingstag.com/api/heartbeat/YOUR_ID) to the end of your bash script. If the script fails, the ping isn't sent, and PingStag alerts you.
Yes! Because heartbeat monitoring relies on your server making an outbound request to PingStag, it works perfectly for firewalled servers, local intranets, and private VPCs.
