Migration Guide

Migrate from Healthchecks.io

API import available. Stop running jobs on your server — JustRun executes them.

One-click import available

Step by step

1

Get your Healthchecks API key

Log into healthchecks.io → Settings → API Access → Project API Key.

Your key looks like: abc123def456...
2

Export your checks

Use the Healthchecks API to list all checks.

curl -H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_KEY" https://healthchecks.io/api/v3/checks/
3

Import to JustRun

Go to justrun.sh/dashboard/migrate → Healthchecks.io. Paste your API key — JustRun maps each check's period and URL to a job.

4

Remove server-side cron

For each migrated check, remove the corresponding server cron entry and the healthchecks.io ping call from your application code.

5

Set up escalation policies

Configure JustRun's escalation policies: immediate Slack alert, then PagerDuty page after 5 minutes of no response.

Common questions

Healthchecks.io has a great free tier (20 checks). Will I lose that?

JustRun's free tier has 10 jobs. If you need more, the $3/mo Hobby plan gives 25 jobs — less than Healthchecks free, but you also get execution, so you can eliminate your server-side cron.

Can I self-host JustRun like Healthchecks?

JustRun is hosted only. If self-hosting is a requirement, Healthchecks.io's open-source version may be the better fit.

What about the ping URLs in my application code?

Once JustRun executes the jobs directly, you no longer need ping URLs. Remove them from your codebase during migration.
