Tasks are the more annoying things to track.

Did it run? Is it still running? Did it have any errors? Why did it fail? Which step did it fail on?

My last job built a job tracker for "cron" tasks that supported actual cron tab + could schedule hitting a https endpoint.

Of course it requires code modification to ensure it writes something so you can tell it ran in the first place. But that was part of modernizing a 10 year old LAMP stack.
