Subscriptions indicate Health Status

8 August 2018
Enhancement
Messages/Subscriptions

Subscriptions now have a HealthStatus allowing you to monitor the health of a subscription with a tool of your choice. For production-critical queues, we recommend setting up an automatic alert.

With the new update action changeDestination, a ConfigurationError can be fixed (common causes are deleting the destination queue, deleting the access credentials, or removing the permission to push messages into the queue).

We have modified the handling of delivery failures caused by ConfigurationErrors:

  • A production project has up to 24 hours to fix the configuration
  • A development or staging project has up to an hour to fix the configuration

After that, we'll drop the messages, and will not attempt to deliver further messages. In this case, the subscription gets the status ConfigurationErrorDeliveryStopped. For more information, see the updated Delivery Guarantees.
