Pylon Watch is the dead-man's-switch for the machines, cron jobs, and backups you can't afford to lose. It watches from outside your network — so when the whole thing goes dark, you still get paged.
# drop one line at the end of your backup / cron job: curl -fsS https://watch.pylonmesh.com/hb/your-watcher-id # miss your window, and Pylon Watch pages you: 🔴 nightly-backup missed check-in — silent for 14m · SLA 10m
Whether a job checks in with us or we reach out to it, you find out the moment an SLA slips.
Cron jobs, backups, and devices curl a unique URL when they finish. Miss the window and you're alerted — the silence is the signal.
Point Watch at a URL and we check it on your schedule from off-site. Non-200 or unreachable trips an alert with the exact status.
Rich Discord cards, Slack, or any webhook. One alert per state change — down once, recovered once. No 2am nag loops.
