Gavin, did you see that we had recently updated the API to simplify getting a list of data sources and when they last refreshed?
Check out http://apidocs.klipfolio.com/docs/data-sources.
Cheers,
Scott.

I was actually going to post this idea. I think is absolutely necessary to have this alerting capability as it will give the business the capacity to react in real time to the specific situations that we follow in each indicator!

What a great suggestion... this would be invaluble for IT managers etc, when it often takes a while before its been noticed that a channel is down for example. An event driven notification would raise the alarm in good time
-
I couldn't agree more.. Need to integrate a event trigger system in Klipfolio where we can sent alerts through emails for immediate action. The indicator system already exists. if we can integrate email in that that would be awesome and a definite requirement

This suggestion comes up a lot and is on Scott's radar. I wonder if a temporary solution could be to create a System monitor dashboard with the key metrics and simple klips and make it a published link. This would allow you to share an HTML link with the IT/Systems admin and they could check it for alerts when they are online. We use a similar approach when monitoring our own metrics at Klipfolio. The published link lets you get around logging into the dashboard, or needing another user account.

As Meggan indicated, this is definitely on our radar as a desired feature. We have already done some investigation, and more is still needed to ensure a solid solution.
Any additional context you have in mind for this kind of feature would be very welcome as the investigation continues and the functionality of the request is further refined.

Scott, what I'm looking for (don;t know about the others) could initially be as simple as a table showing all the data sources and when they last refreshed successfully. Better still would be if I could receive an email when a data source fails either once or a number of times, saying "Your data source xyz has failed to refresh..."
-
Thanks, Gavin! The additional context is much appreciated.

Hi Gavin,
Had you seen the update to the API related to GET /datasources? We've added fields for date last refreshed and refresh interval. This will make it very simple to create a table Klip on your dashboard looking at a list of your data sources and last refresh date. Check out http://apidocs.klipfolio.com/docs/data-sources.
Cheers,
Scott.
