# 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.
