Hi, Is there any existing REST API to monitor / resume Deadletter Jobs, or any plan to build one? Note I have not found such API reading the documentation. Currently, I use a custom resource to do that. Would you accept a PR for that? ---

Hey @remibantos, We already have such endpoint, perhaps it is not in the documentation. However, it is in the swagger documentation. I would suggest to you to have a look at the [flowable-swagger-process.yml](https://github.com/flowable/flowable-engine/blob/master/docs/public-api/references/swagger/process/flowable-swagger-process.yaml) swagger documentation for the process engine. With what we have currently you can: - GET `/management/deadletter-jobs` - query dead-letter jobs - GET `/management/deadletter-jobs/{jobId}/exception-stacktrace` - Get the exception stacktrace of a dead-letter job - GET `/management/deadletter-jobs/{jobId}` - Get a single dead-letter job - POST `/management/deadletter-jobs/{jobId}` - Move a dead-letter job into an executable job - DELETE `/management/deadletter-jobs/{jobId}` - Delete a dead-letter job In case something is missing we would gladly accept a PR. What exactly are you doing with your custom resource? Cheers, Filip ---

Oh, that is good to know. Indeed it is missing in Flowable REST API documentation. Could it be added ? Thanks, Rémi ---

Hi @filiphr, Sorry I could not find time yet to contribute to the documentation. I have successfully used this API to resume deadletter-jobs from my own GUI. Thanks, Rémi ---
