If you are ok with a Saas and if it's just scheduled jobs that you are monitoring, there are a number of monitoring tools where you tell when job completes (with a http request) and a missing ping (after a grace period) means that it failed. I think https://deadmanssnitch.com/ may have been the original service for this. https://healthchecks.io/ has a fairly generous free tier that I use now. There are others that... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
There's a great service already existing with a riff on that name, even - https://deadmanssnitch.com/ DMS is useful for stuff like crons where you're trying to monitor an event that happened rather than whether a service is online.
