FMN Replacement (April 2022)
============================
References
----------
FMN is a web application allowing users to create filters on messages sent to fedmsg
and forward these as notifications on to email or IRC
* `current deployment <https://apps.fedoraproject.org/notifications/>`__
* `FMN source <https://github.com/fedora-infra/fmn>`__
* `CPE initiative ticket <https://pagure.io/cpe/initiatives-proposal/issue/10>`__
Issues to solve
---------------
message delivery lag
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
in times of peak congestion on the message queue (e.g. during a mass rebuild) it can take **days** for messages to be delivered to users.
fedmsg
~~~~~~
The current version of FMN was implemented uses the deprecated fedmsg bus, not the currently supported Fedora Messaging (rabbitmq) message queue.
Additionally, the FMN code is deeply integrated with the fedmsg ecosystem (e.g. the configuration setup for FMN is kept in the fedmsg.d/ directory)
UI
~~
after adhoc discussions with the development community one of the major issues is the FMN web UI:
* The interface for creating new filters is complicated and confusing.
* Users have to define filters seperately for different destentations (i.e. email and IRC) This is due to how the database is designed.

Current Issues
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. **message delivery lag** in times of peak congestion on the message
queue (e.g. during a mass rebuild) it can take **days** for messages
to be delivered to users.
2. **fedmsg**
3. **python2**
4. **UI** after adhoc discussions with the development community one of
the major issues is the fmn UI – creating new filters is cumbersome,
and most people keep the standard filters or just turn them off.
