Message Log

For arlanix/notification 1.0.0

Message Log

The Message Log keeps every message published to a topic: when, by whom, and what became of it. A message a rule sent names it under Rule.

Open the Message Log

Click Arlanix in the admin's menu, then Message Log under Notifications.

The Arlanix menu open, with Message Log lifted

The Message Log: when, topic, severity, subject, source, the rule that sent it, and the outcome of each message, with where each delivery went

What became of a message

The Outcome column says it, and under it, where each delivery went:

  • Sent: every subscription that takes it got it.
  • On its way: a delivery is queued, being sent, or waiting to be tried again.
  • Failed: a delivery had all its attempts and did not go.
  • Skipped: its subscription was deleted or switched off before it went.
  • No subscribers: no active subscription of the topic takes messages of its severity. The message is logged all the same.

Find a message

Click Filters, choose or type what to narrow the log by, such as an Outcome of Failed or a Topic, and click Apply Filters. It narrows by when it was published, outcome, severity, topic, subject, source or rule.

Filters open over the Message Log

One message

In the message's row, click View. Its page shows its text, the facts that came with it, the rule that sent it with a link to the rule, and each delivery with its status, attempts and, for one that failed, what the mail server, Telegram, Slack or Discord said.

A message's page: its text and facts, and its deliveries with their status

Send again

A delivery that failed, or one waiting to be tried again, has Retry now on the message's page: click it. It goes back on the queue at once, and is sent within a minute or so. If it fails again, it is tried again on the whole schedule, as a new delivery is: see When a delivery fails. Fix what the error says first: a wrong password or bot token fails again.
