Why do I only see two events in my cron history?
Short answer: your scheduled task is healthy. We prune the log to keep it readable.
We don't store every single successful ping forever. Instead, we keep:
- Every failure or missed event in full
- The successful events immediately before and after each failure, so you can see what normal looks like around a problem
- The two most recent successful pings, so you can always confirm the task is still reporting in
For a long-running, healthy task that has never failed, that means you'll see just two successful events in the history. It's not a bug; it's how we keep the log focused on events worth paying attention to.
Rest assured, we're recording every ping as it arrives. You just see a summary.
Tip: if you get "missing ping" alerts that feel wrong, double-check that the cron job's timezone matches the timezone configured on the monitor. Mismatches there are the most common cause of surprising alerts.
