What is the best way to have puppet send email notification?

[Stella]

Hi guys,

I am now having a working Puppet 3.6.2 environment with Dashboard and MCollective.

Now I am wondering what is the best way to have puppet send email notification if an event happens, such as package installed, service stopped, file changed, etc.

I googled and it seems there is no definite answer. People are using different methods. Is there any "official" way? I do notice there is a "Notify" type in puppet.

Thanks,
Stella

Hi,

Look at the tagmail feature

Sweeeeeeet! It works. I just configured the most basic one without creating 'explicit tag". Very clear document.

Thank you Jose! Have a good weekend!
