FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The questions people ask most before they start monitoring.
What counts as 'late' vs 'missed'?
A grace period after the expected run time marks the job late; missing that window too marks it missed.
Do I need to authenticate the ping request?
No — the ping endpoint is public and rate-limited by design, so any job can report in with one line.
