Introduction
The Shopware Plugin MND Shopware Monitoring Basic (MndMonitoring) you can monitor various parameters of your shop and notify you via email and SMS.
Currently, the following can be checked:
- Notification when new plugin updates are availalbe for your shop (NEW: with changelog excerpt)
- Issues with cronjobs (deactivation on errors or erroneous changes by other backend users)
- Incomplete or empty product feeds (useful for ERP/IM synchronization)
- Suddenly inactive articles (useful for ERP/IM synchronization)
- Suddenly missing article images (useful for ERP/IM synchronization)
- Requests to shop (by detecting fluctuations in visitor numbers)
MND Shopware Monitoring Basic is triggered via a Shopware cronjob. In situations where Shopware cronjobs can't be run, or the e-mail system is broken, a notification won't work!
Once shopware cronjobs can be run again, notification resumes.For SMS Notifications we integrated an interface to the service SMS77.io. To use that service you need an active account on SMS77.io with sufficient balance and an API Key to that account. You can create the API key in the administration interface of SMS77.io. Please note that we can only provide support for the plugin itself, and not for topics concerning SMS77.io.
Installation
The installation is being done as usual about the Shopware Plugin Manager.Further information about the installation process in Shopware:Plugin-Manager: http://community.shopware.com/Plugin-Manager-ab-Shopware-5_detail_1856.html)
Configuration
Requirements
- Shopware cronjobs must be activated and working!
The intervals of the linux cronjob, which controls the Shopware cronjobs, must be SHORTER than the check intervals configured in the monitoring plugin!- Example: system cronjob triggers the Shopware cronjob every 15 minutes. The check interval of the monitoring plugin can not be less than 15 minutes, even if the monitoring cron job is set to 5 minutes.
After installation, a new cronjob is created for the MndMonitoring. Make sure that it is always active.Also check the interval on which the cronjob is being run. The plugin settings refer to this interval.
