Send admins email when worker is not available

Description of the limitation and why it is relevant to address

As an admin,I want to receive an email when an integration (worker) is unavailable so that end users are less confronted with non-functioning or not fully functioning applications.

I think this is relevant for the VIKTOR platform because it improves the adoption of users and decreases annoyance for them.

Submitter proposed design (optional)

A constant check on availability is (imo) too much, but a check at certain times would be nice, e.g. every morning at 6 am and at 12 am. Admins are notified by email if something is wrong and can solve it before the end-user gets bothered.

Current workarounds

manual check

Hi Wichard,

Thanks for the request.
We are already tracking this issue internally, I’ve added your use-case to the issue.

hello! this would be very helpful for us as we have been struggling with workers crashing and its very important to minimise impact on the end-users. any updates on this?

We’re still waiting for updates here, but we found a workaround. What you can do is set up a scheduled task (either on a VM, a server or even a PC) and use the rest API to query worker availability and send a notification to the admins when unavailable.

I would still love to have a built-in feature, but at least there is a way to get around this.
