 ## Check-Ins (Recommended)
 
 Check-in monitoring allows you to track a job's progress by completing two check-ins: one at the start of your job and another at the end of your job. This two-step process allows Sentry to notify you if your job didn't start when expected (missed) or if it exceeded its maximum runtime (failed). To start sending check-ins simply add the `@SentryCheckIn("<monitor-slug>")` annotation to the method you want to send check-ins for.
