I'm new to notifications in FME server and I'm trying to create a service that notifies our helpdesk each time a Data Download job fails on our fme server.

I've set up a subscription with the appropriate email settings and subscribed to the DATADOWNLOAD_ASYNC_JOB_FAILURE topic.

I then start topic monitoring on the DATADOWNLOAD_ASYNC_JOB_FAILURE topic and when I test the topic, the email is received exactly as expected.

The problem I have is that topic monitoring stops as soon as I navigate from the manage notifications page or if I refresh the page. Is this supposed to happen? I was assuming that once started, topic monitoring would continue until explicitly told to stop.

Thanks in advance for you help

    You can check the values in fmeserverconfig.txt. When the workbench is failed, FME server starts a notification. In this case, it's JOBSUBMITTER_ASYNC_JOB_FAILURE.
