Spotfire Ideas Portal
I am requesting a push system to alert when an automated services job fails. In Microsoft SQL Server, I get email alerts when SQL Server Agent jobs fail. When you have a system sending out data, and that system fails, I normally learn about it 1 hour + after the fact when someone asks where the report is.
Automation Services pushes out a log showing when/where the job failed. The webplayer portal shows when a job failed. Both of these I have to look for. When I have 100 emails going out a day, I need an alert when something fails.
You can report on it from the Spotfire DB
"SPOTFIRE"."JOB_INSTANCES_DETAIL_VIEW"
But hard to schedule and validate if automation goes down...
Now that automation jobs are available in the admin portal, the addition of a "notify on failure and an email must be easier to achieve? yes?
Looking forward for this to notify the owner right away on the cause of the failure.
Agreed. I do not see any in-built alert mechanism within Spotfire either in terms of alert for failed jobs nor for if any services is going down for some reason.
