https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/administration/6656/send-out-email-alert-when-checkpointing-failsWe perform a daily checkpoint of K Engines on our Appian 7.8 environment. I would like to know if there is a way to send out a email notification when a checkpoint fails? We use the standard checkpointsuite.sh script for checkpointing.

There are writing_*.kdb files added to that directory, and if for some reason, the checkpoint fails, the writing_*.kdb file will be left in that directory, from what I&#39;ve researched. I would imagine that you can run some kind of job that scans that folder every so often but if there are writing_*.kdb files in any of those directories for too long, that should be a good indication that the checkpoint failed. You may be able to configure some third-party tool to email you about it after the job finishes.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
