I'm aware of that, but those alerts are not quite what I was asking about. Imagine the run gets stuck for whatever reason (like infinite loop somewhere), or maybe the VM fails / gets inaccessible for whatever reason, perhaps because of some sort of human error so that the cron does not get run ... I don't think alerting from the client would catch those cases, but maybe it's a rare issue and I'm overthinking it. regards -- Tomas Vondra EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
