Cron jobs are essential for automating repetitive tasks in your Go application, such as scheduled data backups, periodic notifications, or routine maintenance. Monitoring and tracking cron jobs are crucial to ensure they run as expected, identify any failures or anomalies, and maintain the overall health and performance of your application.
Saashound, a powerful real-time event tracking tool, offers seamless tracking of your Go cron jobs. By integrating Saashound directly into your application, you can effortlessly monitor and gain insights into the execution status of your cron jobs.
To begin tracking your Go cron jobs using Saashound, follow these simple steps:
Integrating Saashound into your Go application is straightforward. Use the following code snippet to track your cron jobs. Remember to replace API_TOKEN
with your actual Saashound API token and update the project name to match your project.
package main
import ( "bytes" "encoding/json" "fmt" "net/http")
func logEvent() { apiURL := "https://api.saashound.co/log-event" payload := map[string]interface{}{ "project": "my-project", "channel": "system-logs", "event": "Cron Job Executed", "description": "Cron job 'backup_data' executed successfully.", "icon": "⏰", "notify": true }
payloadBytes, err := json.Marshal(payload) if err != nil { fmt.Println("Error marshaling payload:", err) return }
req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", apiURL, bytes.NewReader(payloadBytes)) if err != nil { fmt.Println("Error creating request:", err) return }
req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json") req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer API_TOKEN")
client := http.DefaultClient resp, err := client.Do(req) if err != nil { fmt.Println("Error sending request:", err) return } defer resp.Body.Close()
if resp.StatusCode >= 200 && resp.StatusCode < 300 { fmt.Println("Log event sent successfully!") } else { fmt.Println("Failed to send log event. Response code:", resp.StatusCode) }}
func main() { logEvent()}
