In Foldda Integrator’s live logging panel, it automatically highlights the keywords that are “of interest”. This feature is called Keyword Monitoring. It’s called “monitoring” not only because it brings these encountered keywords to your attention, but it will also send automatic emails to notify you of these keyword encounters if you have the SMTP set up in the runtime. Once it’s set up, it can become a powerful event-monitoring system that alerts the email recipients based on realtime logging activities.

Remember you’ll need to restart the node once you’ve changed its config settings. Below is the log-monitoring outcome when running the node with the changed settings –
