HI,I need advice/information on how to define a monitoring rules for an Activiti process. For example; if a process tries to connect to the internet, it should display something or send a notification. cheersAsim

Hi,

Interesting. I don't think there's a lot of support in Activiti for this by default. But what you could do is use for example Esper to handle the monitoring.
Then you can send messages to the Esper runtime from a process instance or service task when you think it's needed.

Best regards,

Dear Trademak,

Many thanks for your prompt response.
what you suggested make sense to me but could you please suggest some material to start with. I am new to Activiti and trying to implement my research idea of monitoring services.

cheers

Hi,

We have a chapter in the Activiti in Action book about integrating Activiti and Esper, so that's a good start.
If you buy the MEAP I can sent you an early version of this chapter.

Best regards,
