Install: go install github.com/andreyvit/watchdogd

Run: watchdogd -f /var/run/watchdogd.json -t SECRET -l :8080

Checkin: curl -X POST -H 'Authentication: Bearer SECRET' http://127.0.0.1:8080/backups-24h

Set up monitoring to match OKAY on this URL: http://127.0.0.1:8080/backups-24h

Note that keys must end with -99h, -99m or -99s suffixes, where 99 is the number of hours, minutes or seconds to consider the checkin fresh.
