Track your Go cron jobs

When setting up cron jobs in Go, 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 Go 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 Go code.

Setting up your account

Setting up LogSnag with Go 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.

Go 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.

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "strings"
  "net/http"
  "io/ioutil"
)

func main() {

  url := "https://api.logsnag.com/v1/log"
  method := "POST"

  payload := strings.NewReader(`{"project":"my-saas","channel":"cronjobs","event":"Cronjob Started","description":"job: email-notifications","icon":"⏰","notify":true}`)

  client := &http.Client {
  }
  req, err := http.NewRequest(method, url, payload)

  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err)
    return
  }
  req.Header.Add("Content-Type", "application/json")
  req.Header.Add("Authorization", "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN")

  res, err := client.Do(req)
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err)
    return
  }
  defer res.Body.Close()

  body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err)
    return
  }
  fmt.Println(string(body))
}
