![Track your NodeJs cron jobs]
When setting up cron jobs in Nodejs, it is usually crucial to keep track of their execution and whether they have been executed successfully or not. Sometimes, a minor failure in a cronjob can cause your Nodejs application to stop working correctly. Palzin Track makes it easy to track your cron jobs and their execution status all in real-time, and it works seamlessly with your Nodejs code.

Setting up Palzin Track with NodeJs is very simple!
Once your Palzin Track account is set up, you can use the following code snippets to track your cron jobs. Just replace the YOUR_API_TOKEN with your Palzin Track API token and update your project name.
Using NodeJs with Axios
var axios = require('axios');
var data = JSON.stringify({
"project": "my-project",
"channel": "cronjobs",
"event": "Cronjob Started",
"description": "job: email-notifications",
"icon": "⏰",
"notify": true
});
var config = {
method: 'post',
url: 'https://api.palzin.live/v1/log',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN'
},
data : data
};
axios(config)
.then(function (response) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data));
})
.catch(function (error) {
console.log(error);
});
Using NodeJs with Native
var https = require('follow-redirects').https;
var fs = require('fs');
var options = {
'method': 'POST',
'hostname': 'palzin.live',
'path': '/api/v1/log',
'headers': {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN'
},
'maxRedirects': 20
};
var req = https.request(options, function (res) {
var chunks = \[\];
res.on("data", function (chunk) {
chunks.push(chunk);
});
res.on("end", function (chunk) {
var body = Buffer.concat(chunks);
console.log(body.toString());
});
res.on("error", function (error) {
console.error(error);
});
});
var postData = JSON.stringify({
"project": "my-project",
"channel": "cronjobs",
"event": "Cronjob Started",
"description": "job: email-notifications",
"icon": "⏰",
"notify": true
});
req.write(postData);
req.end();
Using NodeJs with Request
var request = require('request');
var options = {
'method': 'POST',
'url': 'https://api.palzin.live/v1/log',
'headers': {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN'
},
body: JSON.stringify({
"project": "my-project",
"channel": "cronjobs",
"event": "Cronjob Started",
"description": "job: email-notifications",
"icon": "⏰",
"notify": true
})
};
request(options, function (error, response) {
if (error) throw new Error(error);
console.log(response.body);
});
Using NodeJs with Unirest
var unirest = require('unirest');
var req = unirest('POST', 'https://api.palzin.live/v1/log')
.headers({
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN'
})
.send(JSON.stringify({
"project": "my-project",
"channel": "cronjobs",
"event": "Cronjob Started",
"description": "job: email-notifications",
"icon": "⏰",
"notify": true
}))
.end(function (res) {
if (res.error) throw new Error(res.error);
console.log(res.raw_body);
});
