We are wondering if there is a simple solution for sending notifications on a job’s task if a task is taking longer than necessary to render. An idea was to write a python script that continuously looped on one of our servers scanning the active job ids (cmd: DeadlineCommand.exe GetJobIdsFilter Status=Active), then rescanning with GetTaskProgress , or running GetJobTasks and parsing that information to see the individual tasks and their render time, then send out email notifications if they breach a set threshold. My supervisor noticed there was an option to set timeout periods on a specific job tasks from deadline, and to send a notification if it timed out. Is this an equal alternative? Any insight would be very helpful. Thanks!
