Cron jobs are essential for automating repetitive tasks in your Objective-C 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 Objective-C 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 Objective-C cron jobs using Saashound, follow these simple steps:
Integrating Saashound into your Objective-C 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.
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
void logEvent() { NSURL *apiURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://api.saashound.co/log-event"];
NSDictionary *payload = @{ @"project": @"my-project", @"channel": @"system-logs", @"event": @"Cron Job Executed", @"description": @"Cron job 'backup_data' executed successfully.", @"icon": @"⏰", @"notify": @YES // Replace with the appropriate value };
NSData *jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:payload options:0 error:nil];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:apiURL]; [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"]; [request setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"]; [request setValue:@"Bearer API_TOKEN" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Authorization"]; [request setHTTPBody:jsonData];
NSURLSessionDataTask *task = [[NSURLSession sharedSession] dataTaskWithRequest:request completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error) { NSHTTPURLResponse *httpResponse = (NSHTTPURLResponse *)response; if (httpResponse.statusCode >= 200 && httpResponse.statusCode < 300) { NSLog(@"Log event sent successfully!"); } else { NSLog(@"Failed to send log event. Response code: %ld", (long)httpResponse.statusCode); } }];
[task resume];}
int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) { @autoreleasepool { logEvent(); } return 0;}
