AppSignal Wrap Demo

Cron jobs, backup scripts, database processes, long-running workers. These are the parts of your stack that tend to fail quietly, and nobody notices until something downstream breaks.

AppSignal Wrap fixes that. It's a lightweight command-line tool that gives any server process the same monitoring you'd expect from a first-class application.

Two Commands to Full Visibility

No agents, no SDKs, no config files to wrangle. Install Wrap and start monitoring in minutes.

Step 1: Install Wrap

Shell
curl -sSL https://github.com/appsignal/appsignal-wrap/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sudo sh

Or download it directly from GitHub.

Step 2: Wrap Your Process

Shell
export APPSIGNAL_APP_LEVEL_API_KEY=[APP_LEVEL_API_KEY]
appsignal-wrap [NAME] -- [COMMAND]

For example:

Shell
appsignal-wrap payment-script -- bash /var/app/backup.sh

That's it. AppSignal will track that process, collect its logs, and alert you if it fails or behaves unexpectedly.

What Wrap Monitors

Once wrapped, every process gets:

  • Logs: Find, filter, and query output in real time from the AppSignal dashboard.
  • Error tracking: Catch and triage exceptions before they cause user-facing problems.
  • Uptime monitoring: Know the moment a process stops running when it shouldn't.
  • Performance visibility: Spot slow or stalled processes fast.

Keep Scheduled Jobs on Track

For cron jobs and recurring scripts, Wrap supports Cron Check-ins and Heartbeat Check-ins to verify processes run on schedule and stay running.

Shell
appsignal-wrap payment-script --cron -- bash /var/app/payment_script.sh
appsignal-wrap payment-script --heartbeat -- bash /var/app/payment_script.sh

Configure the matching Check-in in your AppSignal dashboard and you'll get a live status view of every scheduled process in your stack.
