Detecting Long-Running Recurring Tasks (Spring boot)

[bryanlanghendries]

Hi,

If I have a recurring task running every minute, is there a way to track if it exceeds its expected duration? For example, if it takes 2 minutes, can I store a log of this to identify long-running tasks?

Thanks in advance!

There are probably many ways to achieve this. You could for example register a SchedulerListener and put the logic in the overridden methos void onExecutionComplete(ExecutionComplete executionComplete);

Hi,
Thanks for your response. I was able to resolve the issue by using Spring Boot Actuator to retrieve all scheduled executions. For each execution, I check whether it exceeds a defined threshold.

In my case, having a simple visual confirmation in the health check was sufficient to detect if a task has been running too long.
