I've been toying with a similar idea for ~6 months: A lightweight job status dashboard.

I wanted something that required no setup, but could just push success/failure messages to as part of various cron jobs, windows tasks, and shell scripts we run throughout our organization.

StatShed server: https://github.com/statshed/statshed-server StatShed go-cli: https://github.com/statshed/statshed-gocli

The idea is kind of like "ntfy.sh", but for jobs status. You can send a "started" message at the beginning, update a "status" message periodically throughout the job, then send a "failed" message (optionally with logs) or a "success". Then a web dashboard gives you an overview with ability to drill down.

We use Icinga for monitoring and paging, but this just gives an overview for a quick look at things we don't want heavy duty monitoring on. Like my laptop backups, information about ansible runs across our fleet, etc.
