Sending Mail from puppet master !!!

[Rakesh Kathpal]

Hi,

The functionality that I am trying to achieve is

Step 1: Running a command / script triggered by a puppet run on the client

Step 2: Gathering the output of script

Step 3: Send the output via email to external source

Please note here, I am not sure about email settings on the client, so I would need the email to be sent out from the master and the output here is not a puppet run report but an output from my script that has executed on the client.

I understand that I am expecting something which is not a core puppet deliverable but I strongly believe that this can be achieved via puppet.

In case we are not able to send email, if we can atleast carry the output to the master by any chance...

Awaiting any suggestions / hacks ....

Thanks & Regards,

Rakesh K.

Hi,

http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/report.html#tagmail

If you can get the output in execution report on your node, you could
use the tagmail configuration on the master to send email to the right
resource.

That's the first place I would look at for a possible solution

Johan,

Thanks for your reply.

I had tried to explore this option but it seems, the report/output that is generated is only related and limited to the puppet run. Even for the script / command that I will be running via puppet, the report just contains whether it was successfully executed or not, I do not get the details output of the script.

Hi Rakesh,

I was afraid of that :)

Have you looked at the exec attribute

- **logoutput**
    Whether to log command output in addition to logging the
    exit code.  Defaults to `on_failure`, which only logs the output
    when the command has an exit code that does not match any value
    specified by the `returns` attribute.  In addition to the values
    below, you may set this attribute to any legal log level.
    Valid values are `true`, `false`, `on_failure`.
