Article summary

There is one Dead Letter Emitter Node that is created for your Tenant when you create your Tenant.

Dead letters occur when the maxReceiveCount (aka - number of delivery attempts) that was set on one or more of your Edges has been exceeded. When this occurs, the message will be emitted from the Dead Letter Emitter Node as en echo.text message.

NOTE - Edges that do not have a maxReceiveCount set will never trigger the Dead Letter Emitter Node, as such Edges retry message delivery to their target Node forever!

You may create a Node that can receive the echo.text message type to further process any dead letters. The use cases for such processing are application specific.
