Documentation

ftw.publisher.monitor

This package is an ftw.publisher addon for monitoring the publisher queue and alerting when the queue cannot be processed for some reason.

Usage

  • Add ftw.publisher.monitor to your buildout configuration on the editoral site and run bin/buildout:
[instance]
eggs +=
    ftw.publisher.sender
    ftw.publisher.monitor
  • Configure the report in the publisher control panel.

Failed extraction monitoring

When the publisher is set up with an asynchronous extraction queue (e.g. with redis), the extraction may break. This is possible because the extraction is asynchronous and thus not in the same transaction as the publisher job is created. Therefore creating the publisher job may work, but executing the extraction job may fail.

For mitigating that problem we are monitoring the jobs and warn whenever a job has still a 0-sized job file and the job file is older than the configured threshold.

Upgrade 2.0

First you need to install the profile ftw.publisher.monitor:default. The profile hasn't existed before and because after the installation of a profile all upgradesteps are shown as installed, you have to run it manually or have to reenter the data in the config panel.
