Track your Dart cron jobs

When setting up cron jobs in Dart, 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 Dart application to stop working correctly. LogSnag makes it easy to track your cron jobs and their execution status all in real-time, and it works seamlessly with your Dart code.

Setting up your account

Setting up LogSnag with Dart is very simple!

1. Create a free LogSnag account.
2. Create a new project on your dashboard.
3. Copy your API token from the settings page.

Dart code snippets

Once your LogSnag account is set up, you can use the following code snippets to track your cron jobs. Just replace the YOUR_API_TOKEN with your LogSnag API token and update your project name.

var headers = {
  'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN'
};
var request = http.Request('POST', Uri.parse('https://api.logsnag.com/v1/log'));
request.body = json.encode({
  "project": "my-saas",
  "channel": "cronjobs",
  "event": "Cronjob Started",
  "description": "job: email-notifications",
  "icon": "⏰",
  "notify": true
});
request.headers.addAll(headers);

http.StreamedResponse response = await request.send();

if (response.statusCode == 200) {
  print(await response.stream.bytesToString());
}
else {
  print(response.reasonPhrase);
}
