Configure a Notification To Monitor Failover
You can configure the FME Server Notification Service to notify you when any of the following events occurs on a node in your fault-tolerance architecture:
- An FME Server starts up.
- An FME Server host detects a heartbeat failure on the host it is monitoring.
- A failover occurs.
Perform the following steps on both the FME Server primary and failover servers. We recommend that topic names be different between servers to distinguish notification messages.
- Open the FME Server configuration file.
- Specify a Notification Service topic to receive failover-related notifications.
- Create a Notification Service Subscriber that will receive failover-related notifications from the specified topic, and deliver them to you over a preferred protocol, such as SMTP.
<FMEServerDir>\Server\fmeServerConfig.txt
NOTIFY_FAILOVER=<topicName>
Save and close the FME Server configuration file.
In the subscriber configuration, the template that specifies the body of the notification message must include the {msg}
keyword, because {msg}
is a macro that contains the actual notification message.
For example, configure the Email Template field of an Email Subscriber like this:
System notification received: {msg}
