Component body

Status Watchdog logs system status messages (admin/reports/status) to the watchdog. This is especially useful when combined with syslog and external monitoring solutions such as Splunk.

Dependencies

Installation

Simply turn on the module and watchdog messages will be logged during cron runs. By default, messages are logged once per hour and after a cache clear. This ensures that any changes in status after a deployment are immediately logged.

Configuration

Set $conf['status_watchdog_interval'] in settings.php to the number of seconds between logging runs. By default, the interval is set to 3600 seconds.
