Check-in Occurrences
We've renamed Heartbeats to Check-ins. Our helper methods/functions and API endpoints have also been renamed to reflect this change.
The Check-in feature is currently only available to Beta Testers. If you think your application is a good candidate, send an email to support@appsignal.com!"
You'll be able to begin monitoring your Check-ins in AppSignal after:
In this documentation, we'll explain to you what different Check-in statuses mean and how you can inspect Check-ins in AppSignal.
Viewing Check-ins
To view all of your app's check-ins, click on the Check-ins overview via the AppSignal app navigation:
Here, you will have an overview of your check-ins with the following columns:
| Column name | Description |
|---|---|
| Identifier and type | The identifier of your check-in and job type. |
| Schedule | The schedule of your job, expressed in crontab syntax |
| Last failure | The last time a job failed, or Never if a failure has never occurred. |
| Last Success | The last time a job succeeded, or Never if a success has never occurred. |
| Latest job | The status of the last run job |
Check-in status
Check-in jobs will have one of the following statuses:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| New | No check-ins have yet been received for this Check-in. |
| Success | The job has been completed within its maximum duration. |
| Late | A Check-in completed after its expected finish time (finish time = scheduled start time + max job duration). |
| Missed | The job's max duration has passed and no finish check-in has been received. |
| Running | A start check-in has been received. |
Check-in Summary
Clicking on the identifier of a check-in will take you to an overview of:
- The last five jobs: The timestamps for the last five jobs for the Check-in alongside their status.
- The last five missed or failed jobs: The timestamps for the last five missed or failed jobs.
Check-in Occurrences
Check-in occurrences are past occurrences of the job. Your check-in is monitored based on the job's schedule.
Check-in occurrences give you an overview of past occurrences and can be filtered based on status and time range.
Here, you can inspect the occurrences:
- Expected start/end time
- Actual start/end time
- Job duration and expected job duration
- Job status
