Hello,

I am having a very strange issue with healthchecks.

I have three backup scripts that run daily and do a curl in the beggining and the end so I can also measure execution time.

Two of them I have no issues with but one of them is misbehaving in a very strange way. The issue goes as follows:

Script starts and the first curl is done
Healthchecks gets the curls and starts counting time
Script ends the second curl is sent
Healthchecks gets the second curl, posts execution time
One hour later the check goes down with no other curls received or sent

You can see a print of the last two days below.

What am I missing?

What are the schedule settings (the cron expression and the grace time) for this check?

The ones that work are the same but with a different hour.

I just noticed that the script is starting at the wrong time. That's probably the issue. I have adjusted the service file and will check tonight if it works.

Yep. It was the script start up time. Idiot mistake. Thanks for the help.
