Application Health and Scheduled tasks are now a breeze to set up

Published on May 22, 2026 by Freek Van der Herten

Two of our most powerful checks just got a lot easier to set up. Application Health and Scheduled task monitoring used to mean wiring up an endpoint or pings by hand. Now an AI prompt does that part for you.

Application Health #

Application Health watches what's happening inside your app, the things an uptime check can't see. A stalled queue, an unreachable database, a disk filling up, mail that quietly stopped going out. Here's how it works: we poll an endpoint in your app every minute, your app reports back on whatever you want to keep an eye on, and the moment something turns unhealthy, you'll know.

Setting up that endpoint used to be on you. Not anymore. Open the Application Health tab and you'll find a copy-paste prompt for your AI coding assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, ...). Paste it in, and it builds an endpoint that returns exactly what we expect, protected by your secret, in any language or framework. On Laravel it reaches for our spatie/laravel-health package and does the heavy lifting.

When your endpoint is live, hit "Verify & activate". We fetch it right then, show you the checks we found, and start monitoring. No guessing whether you got it right.

Scheduled tasks #

Scheduled task monitoring got the exact same treatment. It tells you when a cron job doesn't run on time or fails, and its setup prompt syncs your whole schedule for you. On Laravel it wires up spatie/laravel-schedule-monitor; on any other stack it writes a deploy step that detects your tasks and syncs them to us through our API. Prefer to add a single task by hand? That's a tab away.
