As mentioned above, you must actively monitor DLQs for new messages. In many cases, a message being placed on a DLQ represents a critical processing error which requires immediate attention.

Thought Machine provides Prometheus Alerts that track new messages being placed onto DLQ topics. Alert pagers should be built on top of these alerts to inform you of new messages placed on a DLQ.

For more information on how to configure Alert Pagers, as well as the full list of DLQ alerts, refer to the Observability Stack Installation and User Guide as included in your release zip file.

Detailed information about each individual DLQ can be found on the Documentation Hub under the associated API section. This includes the processing being performed, the impact of a message being placed on that DLQ, and potential recovery steps to follow.
