• Brief description:
  • Have you ever needed to maintain a site where a site owner had access to update site configuration, and wanted to be notified whenever they did so? There’s a module for that
• Module name/project name:
  • Config Notify
• Brief history
  • How old: created in Feb 2020 by Fran Garcia-Linares (fjgarlin), one of today’s guests
  • Versions available: 8.x-1.11, which supports Drupal 8.8 and newer
• Maintainership
  • Actively maintained
  • Security coverage
• Number of open issues: 2 open issues, neither of which are bugs
• Usage stats:
  • 194 sites
• Module features and usage
  • Just like it sounds, this module lets you trigger notifications when the configuration deviates from the config management code in production.
  • You can choose for the notifications to be sent immediately, or via cron, with an option for a daily digest. The notifications can be sent by email, or via Slack, using the slack module (if enabled).
  • This should be an easy-to-implement solution if you support a site where users may be updating the site configuration in production. A different approach was discussed back in episode #236 Top Down Configuration
