Job Error Notification System

Hi guys,

 

I have a doubt, I don’t know if such an option already exists or not, if it does, please guide me to the page.

I need to make a notification system within the FME Server to send a live notification to a email if a job fails. Now there are number of methods to do this I believe, and I tried some of them but failed to achieve what I really require. What I need is a live notification system, i.e., it must notify me as soon the job fails. Now this notification message must contain time, workspace name, repository name, and the error message in a clean manner, like for example “Workspace Name : work.fmw”. Here the workspace name and repository name must be there without any fail, the other details I can compromise, but these two information is a must. 
Now, this notification system must not depend on a workspace, because I know i can create a notification system using FME Flow Notifier within a workspace. But I want the system to be independent of a workspace as it requires the workspace to run each time an error occurs and that's not ideal, because then It will not be live notification. 
Another method would be using an automation to sent the system event as an email, but this will not consist the info i need, which is workspace name and repository name.

So, is there a solution to this?

If the information emailed from an FME Flow System event Error Message Logged error isn’t sufficient,  I think you could create an automation where the trigger is the FME Flow system event. This could trigger a workspace which fetches the information you require about a job and sends an email in the preferred format

Hi ​@ebygomm ,

 

Thanks for your reply. Actually, that is what I was talking about. Triggering a workspace is not a solution in my case, because there is only one engine in my FME server, so if there are other jobs running at the time, this workspace will be in the queue, and if the job currently running is huge, this will delay the notification.

I hope this is what you meant, if not please do correct me.

Thank you

I don’t know enough about the relative timings to know if that setup would trigger the automation and run the failure email workspace ahead of anything else in the queue if the failure workspace was given a higher priority. 

 

As an aside, It still won’t give you workspace name and repository but there’s no need to use an automation for this

“Another method would be using an automation to sent the system event as an email, but this will not consist the info i need, which is workspace name and repository name.”

It can be done directly under the system events configuration

Yes, but system event configuration email notification only sent the event details, it will not have the job details like workspace name etc.
