Under SYSTEM / NOTIFICATION DASHBOARD / DASHBOARD we have a space (a dashboard) in the admin panel, where all notifications related to the ERP connector will be stored.
We want to store e.g.:
when was the last import/export
how many orders were exported (and how many weren't)
how many products were imported (and how many weren’t)
stock changes
how many fails on a given day
some statistics about import/export
ERP Connector
The two most important things we want to test are connectors and schedulers.
Connectors
Allows setting the connection to external services, e.g. FTP/SFTP, Soap, HTTP endpoints.
In each provider, we can have several connectors and we are able to check the connection status for FTP/SFTP and Soap (maybe there is a possibility to test the connection to HTTP and E-mail - it needs to be checked).
It would be good to have:
Listing of all connectors that we are able to test
Logic to test them e.g. every hour (there should be an option to set interval in the admin panel)
Information about connector connection status on the listing (we should store the test result, in this way we will be able to monitor e.g. which connector (if any) does not work at night)
Schedulers
They allow setting how often a given action should be executed, e.g. order export.
When configuring the scheduler, the administrator sets cron_schedule, on the basis of which we determine when exactly the specified action should be performed.
For example, if he sets */15 * * * *, action should be executed every 15 minutes.
It would be good to have:
Listing of all schedulers grouped by providers
Listing when a given scheduler should be executed (e.g. range one day backwards and one day forward)
Status information (e.g. at 03:15 scheduler was executed and everything was ok, or it did not execute at the specified time, or it was executed, but there were errors)
Possibility to check the result - why it failed or what was exported/imported
Monitoring
Based on the collected data, the system should be able to notice changes. For example:
If we have > 100 exported orders every day and one day we have only 5 exported orders, notification should be sent
if the import process should be executed every day around 5 a.m., the notification should be sent if the import process wasn’t executed or was executed around 10 a.m
There should be the possibility to manually configure the monitoring system.
And it would be nice if the system would be able to find dependencies on its own and inform about changes.
Notifications
There should be also a possibility to set the notifications:
in the message inbox in the admin panel
set the notifications to specific e-mail addresses
slack
There should be a possibility to configure the notification system in the admin panel only for specific admin groups. But there should be an option to configure notifications in the code, so they cannot be disabled in the admin panel or directly in the database.
The administrator should be able to configure notifications to specific groups or specific tasks (e.g. if order export to a specific provider doesn’t work, an e-mail with propel information should be sent to admin/developer e-mail, or notification should be sent to slack channel).
Reports
It would be good to have some reports
global statistics for each day
statistics for each provider for each day
it can be stored in the files
