The links can be checked automatically, triggered by the magnolia scheduler module. The check is done by the checkLinkCommand command. If a link is not reachable and inserted in content somewhere, a message with the error details is sent among the users who have the corresponding roles.
By default the scheduler job is not active and need to be activated, if you want the links checked periodically.
Magnolia Notification
User with the role links-app-magnolia-notifications will get magnolia notifications, when not reachable links are found.
Mail Notification
User with the role links-app-mail-notifications will get mail notifications, when not reachable links are found. Please check that your magnolia mail server settings are set correct.
Activate scheduled link check
Set the enabled property to true to activate scheduled link check. You also want to change the e-mail sender address to an address your server can handle.
You can do this in two different ways:
Option 1: Edit the links scheduler config file in the resources app
Option 2: Decorate the links scheduler config file in your module
