Use Execution History | Notify Administrator About Errors to track rule execution errors

Summary: You can configure the Execution History | Notify Administrator About Errors rule to be notified if any of the rules that are configured in your environment produced an error during execution.

This article contains step-by-step instructions on how to configure this rule.

Applies to: Cayosoft Administrator 7.x or later.

Configuration

NOTE: You typically do not need to create an instance of this rule, as it is automatically created during installation under the RULES > Built-in Rules (Pre-configured) folder.

1. In the Cayosoft Administrator Console, navigate to RULES > Built-in Rules (Pre-configured) > Execution History | Notify Administrator About Errors rule.

   If you don't want to be notified about the errors in some rules you should add their names or IDs to the Exclude errors in these rules setting. Specify one rule name per line or split rule names by ';' char.

2. You can update the Output section: specify recipients, customize notification subject, and message. For more details please see this article Customizing an automation rule or web action output emailr.

Each time when the rule runs it reports only about those rule errors that have occurred since its last run.
