Summary

Sentry has released Cron Monitoring, which alerts developers when scheduled jobs fail and provides context to fix them. This feature focuses on serving code-level insights behind missed and failed jobs, relating them to errors already in the issue stream. The tool helps organizations like fintech startup Wrapbook detect and solve minor issues before they grow into large problems, saving time and resources. Cron Monitoring is integrated into Sentry SDKs for easy setup, with features such as alerting rules, error tracing, and recovery thresholds that help avoid human errors. The feature aims to provide code-level insights that contribute to the overall uptime and reliability of an application, and is available on all Sentry account plans, including a free one monitor with unlimited check-ins.
