Messages with webhooks or api call instead of emails

[Giacomo Gorgellino]

Hi,

it would be highly appreciated if bareos could send notifications via webhooks or web API. AFAIK "Messages" directive only supports email.
Can "Mail Command" be customized to use eg cURL?

Let say.. something similar to:

Messages {
  Name = webhook_ERM
  Mail Command = "curl -vs -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" -X POST -d '{\"JobName\": \"%n\", \"JobId\": \"%i\", \"ExitStatus\": \"%e\", \"Message\": \"Job %n - id %i is ended with Exit code %e\"}' \"http://mywebhookserver/invoke?token=supertokenhere\""

  mail on error = bac...@risorsa.com = all, !skipped, !audit
  console = all, !skipped, !saved, !audit
  append = "/var/log/bareos/bareos.log" = all, !skipped, !saved, !audit
  catalog = all, !skipped, !saved, !audit

}

Can it work?

Yes, this can work. Alternatively you can use after job RunScripts. If
more advanced features are required, plugins can be used/created. There
are already similar plugins, like
https://github.com/bareos/bareos-contrib/tree/master/dir-plugins/nagios_icinga
(sending a notification to Icinga after the job), ...
