I have a custom SCIM server and I am deleting users from Okta but my delete API sometimes fails and doesn’t return the right response or fails, how do I add some kind of alerting or monitoring around this? ---

Hey, @fiona1498 , welcome to the community! That’s a great question, you can do this using even-hooks from Okta. Dropping in some useful links for you below. But to put this into perspective, with Okta Event logging you could do things like whenever you receive a specific event error type, you can call another external API to send this error info (Example: Slack alerts, Email Alerts) What are event hooks: [Event hooks concepts | Okta Developer](https://developer.okta.com/docs/concepts/event-hooks/) How to implement event hooks: [Event hook implementation | Okta Developer](https://developer.okta.com/docs/guides/event-hook-implementation/nodejs/main/) Event types available: [Event Types | Okta Developer](https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/api/event-types/#catalog) Here you would most probably be listening and handling **application**.integration.general\_failure and performing whatever steps are necessary. This is also a good time to note that Okta doesn’t fully support the DELETE route for users in a traditional way, it instead marks the user as de-provisioned, which means the user is set to `active: false` when delete is called on them and you would need to handle this within your app separately. You may also want to look at this: > **[SCIM - frequently asked questions | Okta Developer](https://developer.okta.com/docs/concepts/scim/faqs/)** > > Answers to your questions about how SCIM works with Okta. This being said, there is yet another way to achieve this same effect using [Okta Workflows](https://help.okta.com/wf/en-us/content/topics/workflows/workflows-main.htm) where you would essentially build step-based blocks, and one step would send a message on Slack based on these conditions. But I believe this needs some extra registrations and accesses ---

Awesome @monishb , thank you so much! I’ll take a look at this ---

@fiona1498 welcome! I talk about some debugging tools I’ve used to monitor incoming requests to the scim server here [Enterprise-Ready Workshop: Manage users with SCIM | Okta Developer](https://developer.okta.com/blog/2023/07/28/scim-workshop#view-requests-to-and-from-the-app). Okta doesn’t have verbose logging for scim requests atm. I recommend using [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/) or [Morgan](https://github.com/expressjs/morgan) to review status requests/logs; keep in mind these recommendations are good for testing and not for production.
