Cronitor + Memtro

Ask whether the nightly backup job ran, and which Cronitor monitors are failing now.

Connect Cronitor with an API key and Memtro reads cron jobs, heartbeats, checks and sites with their state, schedule and next expected run, a job's recent runs with duration and outcome, issues with their updates, and status pages. It reads on demand and there is no hourly sync. It never sends a ping or publishes to a status page. When asked, and once an administrator has granted the action by name, it can open, change, resolve or permanently delete issues, pause and resume a monitor's alerts, create or clone monitors, and permanently delete a monitor with its history.

In Memtro

What you can do with Cronitor in Memtro

Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right Cronitor tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.

What it does

  1. 01Monitors by state, type, name, tag, group or environment, with schedule, latest event and next expected run
  2. 02One job's recent runs with start, end, duration and outcome, where Cronitor records them
  3. 03Issues by state, severity or a recent window, with affected monitors, alert count and updates in order
  4. 04Status pages with current status, domain, whether public or private, and component count
  5. 05When asked and granted, opens internal issues, changes, assigns or resolves them (one or up to 50 at once) without posting an update, and permanently deletes an issue
  6. 06When asked and granted, pauses or resumes a monitor's alerts, creates or clones job and heartbeat monitors that alert their notification lists, and permanently deletes a monitor with its history

Acts when asked

When you ask it to

These tools change something in Cronitor. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

  1. 01Open an internal issue (no update posted, not on any status page)
  2. 02Change an issue's name, severity, state or assignee (no update posted, so subscribers are not notified)
  3. 03Change the state of, or assign, several issues named by key
  4. 04Delete an issue (permanent)
  5. 05Pause a monitor's alerts, for a number of hours or until resumed
  6. 06Resume a paused monitor
  7. 07Create a job or heartbeat monitor (its notification lists are alerted when it fails)
  8. 08Clone a monitor (the copy keeps the original's notification lists)
  9. 09Delete a monitor and its history (permanent)
In practice

Ask it like you would a colleague

Once Cronitor is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.

Cronitor logoCronitor + Memtro
  • Did the nightly backup job run last night?

  • Which monitors are failing right now?

  • What issues did we have this week, and how long did each last?

  • Is the public status page showing everything as operational?

  • Pause alerts on the reporting job for two hours while we migrate it

01

Did the backup run

First thing on Monday the platform lead asks whether the weekend backups ran. Memtro reads the backup job's recent runs and finds Saturday's passed in 14 minutes, while Sunday's never started and the monitor has been failing since 03:00.

02

Quiet during a migration

Dan Fletcher asks Memtro to pause alerts on the Northwind import job for three hours while the database moves. Memtro pauses that one monitor in Cronitor, which keeps recording runs but alerts nobody, and the pause lifts by itself when the three hours are up.

Teams

Where it fits

The teams that lean on Cronitor most, a question each of them asks, and what they connect beside it.

Better together

Works with

A record in Cronitor is rarely the whole story. Connect the systems that hold the rest and Memtro checks them together, then remembers what it learned so the next question starts further along.

Using something else for the same job, or both? Each connector has its own tools; connect as many as you like.

Setup

How to connect

Connect withAPI key
  1. 1

    In Cronitor open Settings → API and copy the SDK Integration key, or create a key with monitor:read, issue:read and statuspage:read

  2. 2

    Add issue:write only if Memtro should open, change or delete issues, and monitor:write only if it should pause, resume, create, clone or delete monitors. The Telemetry key only sends pings and cannot read anything

  3. 3

    In Memtro open Connections → Cronitor, paste the API key and connect

  4. 4

    Ask whether the nightly backup job ran

Also works from

Chat in the dashboard, the OpenAI-compatible API, scheduled jobs, and any MCP client: Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Claude Desktop. The Cronitor tools are the same everywhere.

FAQ

Questions

Can Memtro change anything in Cronitor?+

Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: open an internal issue (no update posted, not on any status page); change an issue's name, severity, state or assignee (no update posted, so subscribers are not notified); change the state of, or assign, several issues named by key; delete an issue (permanent); pause a monitor's alerts, for a number of hours or until resumed; resume a paused monitor; create a job or heartbeat monitor (its notification lists are alerted when it fails); clone a monitor (the copy keeps the original's notification lists); delete a monitor and its history (permanent). Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

Who can use a Cronitor connection?+

A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.

Does Memtro store my Cronitor data?+

Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded.

How do I connect Cronitor?+

API key. In Cronitor open Settings → API and copy the SDK Integration key, or create a key with monitor:read, issue:read and statuspage:read.
