  • 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:
  • 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
