I installed Matomo on my server, and I want to set up a cron job to trigger Matomo's cron job script. What should I do to set up the cron job?


Our webcron service is best for triggering Matomo's cron job script. Just follow below simple steps to configure cron job for your Matomo:

  2. In Matomo admin panel, disable browser trigger:

    Copy token_auth:

    Copy token_auth
  3. In field "URL to call", enter (replace with your install location). Choose an appropriate cron job execution frequency (for Matomo, we recommend to have the cron job run "every hour"). Checkout below screenshot:
