Send alert on failure of webjobs in azure portal

Question

There is one requirement to send an email upon unsuccessful web-jobs only. There are 16 web-jobs which are deployed and running successfully on azure portal. I have suggested to modify the code for existing web-job but client does not want to modify web-jobs. He wants to add something extra which does not require to modify web-jobs anymore. I am confused, without modifying web-jobs, how can I send an email? I searched a lot on google and stack-overflow but didn't get anything.

How can I implement this?

Answer 1

Few of the workarounds for getting the notification to email for WebJobs Status:

• Using ErroTrigger and SendGrid extensions. you can do the Notifications sending to email for the WebJob SDK.

• check this article on how to set that up which uses both extensions to send an email if an error occurred 10 times in 30 minutes window with a throttle up to 1 hour.

public static void ErrorMonitor(
    [ErrorTrigger("0:30:00", 10, Throttle = "1:00:00") TraceFilter filter,
    [SendGrid] SendGridMessage message)
{
    message.Subject = "WebJobs Error Alert";
    message.Text = filter.GetDetailedMessage(5)
}

If you aren't using the WebJob SDK, then unfortunately there aren't any events for continuous webjobs. There is only one for triggered jobs.
