#49 Monitoring the sync process

[Andy Clarkson]

Could you look into providing a method of monitoring the synchronizations ?

Perhaps SNMP traps or the ability to send SMTP email on filaures (and successes)

[Christoph]

Hi,
could you provide a specific example of what you would expect for SNMP traps?
Searching for documentation did not bring up anything that looked like it would be useful to a lot of users.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Perhaps SNMP isn't the answer but certainly the ability to have the application provide some alerts should an (unattended) file transfer or synchronisation fail would be really useful.

A Windows event or the ability to send a notification email via SMTP perhaps ?

[Christoph]

Hi,
well I think that a simple command to execute would be the simplest and most versatile option.
SMTP can be done by command line on both windows and linux, not sure about mac.

Thanks Christoph,

Of course, yes it is simple to send an email via SMTP from command-line but it needs to be done on FullSync connection failure, synchronisation failure etc. So need to be triggered by the fullsync application.
