Woke up this morning to find that my cron jobs were not running from 23:39 on 6/21 until 01:47 on 6/22. A Cron Job is configured to run every 5 minutes.
The logs show: (note the missing activity after 23:29) <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-doSyjtzggvE/UcWdlnM7DiI/AAAAAAAAC40/iHuhRzoE3h8/s1600/chronlogs.jpg> The dashboard shows: <https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-75CtZdGa5s8/UcWe_wkvrSI/AAAAAAAAC5I/bGoN_tI7ZlM/s1600/chrondash.jpg> There were no quota denials. I have a couple of questions: 1) How do I proceed with my investigation to determine the root cause of this SNAFU. 2) How do I provide reliable service to my customers in light of this failure? Do I need to have the cron job send something to a watchdog service? EC2? Heroku? Or is there a "Hey I have not been 'pinged' in 10 minutes, so I'm gonna throw a s&*t fit" service? (Maybe it is called something like a 'button-down-no-longer-down' detection service?) 3) How do I calm my current anxiety and deep seated dread? As well as my anticipatory anxiety?
