Job Processor needs an offline/log off email notification

[Neil_Cross]

Honestly, if I log onto my job processor PC one more time and find that it's rebooted and been sitting offline for several hours or days I'm gonna lose it.  No filter, plain lose it.

I understand the difficult logistics in having this trigger on the actual JP machine itself, but surely you can have an ADMS console based worker process which handshakes with the JobProcessor.exe process on the clients... if there's no handshake, ping the admins an email?

I can only imagine how ... entertaining the post-"lose it" video would be 😉
Interesting idea. Let's see how the community votes

Subscribing to this also ... I allready developed a daily rutine checking the state of the jobprocessor machine!

Subscribing as well, I have calendar events to remote in to check if it's still running....

Agree

While this idea is gathering votes, what do you think about using Windows Task Scheduler to run this PowerShell script as "local system" on the JP machine, let's say ever 30 minutes?

$process = Get-Process | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq 'connectivity.exe.jobprocessor'}
if (! $process) {Send-MailMessage -Subject 'Vault JP is not running on ' + $env:computername, more parameters here}

If the JP will run as a Service it will be 

• no Problem when restarting
• no Problem to monitor the service

@Neil_Cross Just FYI, our company makes a utility that does just that and quite a bit more.  Don't want this to be "marketing", just trying to help solve the problem. Let me know if you'd like more info.

@hwhite is this tool allready available or it is in development? 

Edit! If it is about the  IMAGINiT Utilities for Vault Server .. this is a payd utility and the Idea was to have similar function as standard to Vault!

[hwhite]

@vali_dobrea   You are correct, the tool I mentioned is already available and it is a paid utility.  However, until that capability (and others) reside natively in Vault and since development takes time, tools like the utilities can provide a solution for those who need it near term.

Just saw this thread, I think it´s a good idea, but I would do it with a simple job processor addon and the OnJobProcessorShutdown method. Just sent out a simple mail or trigger the state in the monitoring tool.

Hi,

Can we have a function in Vault that can send a Automatc Email if a job queue error stays for more than 4 hour for example.
If we can setup something like VAO Email notification to alert Admins/Users about any specific job queue errors that would be useful.

That would be a good function. But it is part of a monitoring system. There should be either a system implemented into Vault, or in an external system like Check-MK.
