Progress-aware monitoring

Know what your unattended job is doing.

PingStep gives backups, migrations, batch jobs, and report generators a live progress view—then flags when it loses visibility instead of leaving you to guess.

Open PingStep

For engineers who own 20–90 minute scripts outside CI and workflow platforms.

Built for the moment after the trigger finishes.

Current stage, not just “running”

Your script reports meaningful stages, so the dashboard shows the last progress marker it actually reached.

Lost visibility is explicit

When heartbeat updates stop, PingStep marks the run stale. It never pretends a silent job is healthy.

Minimal integration surface

Send small lifecycle events over HTTPS. No raw logs, payloads, SQL, credentials, or customer data.

How the beta works

Connect one job

Add explicit start, stage, heartbeat, and terminal events to a non-sensitive script.

Watch one scoped view

Each pilot user receives read-only access to only their job’s runs and event history.

Learn from real use

We validate whether progress and liveness answer the question you currently have to investigate manually.

Running a job you have to keep checking?
