Pulse heartbeats and Probe checks

niceuptime keeps the small signals readable.

Watch cron jobs, websites, and APIs without pretending every team needs a large operations stack. Pulse listens for scheduled check-ins. Probe confirms reachable services still answer.

Two monitor types

Pick the direction of the signal.

Use the one that matches the thing you need to trust. Pulse is for work that reports in. Probe is for services niceuptime can call directly.

/checks/new/pulse

Pulse

Your scheduled job sends a heartbeat URL after it runs. If the next heartbeat misses the grace window, niceuptime has evidence that the job went quiet.

/checks/new/probe

Probe

niceuptime calls your HTTP or HTTPS target on an interval and records whether the response matches the policy you set.
