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.
| Implemented in | 14.5 |
Hi,
I'm happy to announce that email notification for Automation Services jobs has been implemented in Spotfire 14.5.
Spotfire administrators can now configure notification preferences for Scheduled Updates and Automation Services jobs to send notifications that include the job result and status information.
You can configure and use email notifications and HTTP notifications.
For more information, see the What's new in Spotfire 14.5 and the release notes and product documentation.
Thanks!!
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.
