Hi everybody,

i would like to know the common way to notify an admin in case of exception.

I tried to set the SendLogNotifications schedule to an intervall of 1 minute. Then I went to the event viewer -> edit log settings and configured the PAGE_LOAD_EXCEPTION to send emails. I set the threshold to 1 occurence in 1 second. Furhtermore I set host settings -> other settings -> scheduler mode to timer method. But this configuration doesn't notifies me every time a exception was thrown. I can see it in event log, but i didn't receive an email ever time.

Is there any other way to handle the notification, or is any setting wrong?

Thanks in advance,

matze

I think this is about caching. If you turn on log caching (Host Settings) then the log will buffer events. That protects your site against suffering from poor performance in situations where a lot of logging occurs. Like might happen if there is a really bad error on your site!

I suggest treading carefully. If the exception is because e-mailing is not working then you could get caught in a Cartesian death loop, opening up a rip in the time-space continuum and causing everyone using DNN to fall in.

Or maybe not. But you could suffer from filling the database or log file.

You are perhaps better to use caching to 'gather up' the exceptions into more mangeable chunks to avoid a runaway situation.

I am quite sure, dblogging provider does support sending notifications as well, though triggered differently.

Please review scheduler settings for sending event notifications.
