Configure Heartbeat periods using cron schedule

Feature Request

Currently, heartbeats required a fixed interval meaning they cannot be configured for cron jobs that don’t run every day.

For example, I have a cron running Monday-Friday 0 15 * * 1-5 , and using a fixed 1 day period would mean the heartbeat is missed on Saturday & Sunday

    Hi, we are also interested in this since we are going to migrate a bunch of cronjobs to Checkly. Hope you will consider the addition of this feature!

    We are very much interested in this as we also have scheduled jobs that only run on Mon-Fri or run at asymmetric hours in the day (e.g. rather than every 6 hours we may have a run at 7am, 12pm, 5pm) - at the moment we’re unable to accurately monitor these jobs using Checkly and are having to look at an alternative provider.

    Hi Chris and thanks for the feedback.
    This is on our radar for sure and makes a lot of sense. We’ll keep this issue updated as soon as we pick it up.
