# Telemetry.host

> Telemetry.host is a cron job and scheduled task monitoring service. It receives POST check-ins from jobs, captures custom status codes and plain-text logs, detects failures automatically, and sends multi-channel notifications via email, Discord, Slack, and any Apprise-supported channel.

Key facts:
- Simple HTTP POST API — no agent required, works from any language or shell script
- Monitors support three modes: Timeout (missed check-in), Auto (learned schedule), and Frequency (interval)
- Numeric metrics can be sent alongside check-ins for charting and threshold alerts
- Free tier available; SaaS hosted at https://telemetry.host
