====== Watchdog and User Notification ======
===== Automatic Restart or Email notification in case of daemon crash =====

A watchdog process could monitor the current status and responsiveness of the
daemon. In case of crash or error, an email notification should be sent.

**Note:** A corresponding watchdog based on a shell script already exists.
===== Email notification for all possible error conditions =====

==== Concept ====
Email notification should be robust to exceptions and crashes, and should work
based on logging classes. Newly added code should easily benefit from email
notification without programming overhead.
==== Possible implementation: ====
  - email notification handled by a standalone thread or process based on logfile parsing.
  - email notification based on the logging library

===== Monitoring of All Resources and Notification =====

  - Send error email if openBIS dropboxes accumulate datasets
  - Send error email if any storage share reaches critical fill state
  - Send error email if iBRAIN2 dropbox accumulate datasets, which are not registered within N days
