Passing job step execution log id to another job

[robert...@gmail.com]

Hi,

 

is it possible to pass the execution output log id of a job step as a variable to another job step? I have certain commands that call a script, and while the commands execute successfully from a Rundeck perspective, the script that is called in turn may fail. I would like to parse the output of the script in order to determine it's true status, and conditionally run the next job step based on that condition.

 

The script output is captured in the step execution log (e.g. 225.rdlog in /var/lib/rundeck/logs/rundeck...). Is there a way to feed that logfile to the next job step? Piping the script output to an arbitrary file doesn't seem to work due to the nature of the command.

 

Any input is much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Robert.

Hi 

I'm not exactly sure what you want but to I often use something like this to get current execution id and logfile..

#find last current job id and logfile 

ID=`find /var/lib/rundeck/logs/rundeck/*/job/"${job.group}"/"${job.name}"/logs -name '*.rdlog' -type f -printf "%f\n" | grep rdlog | cut -f1 -d'.' | sort -n | tail -1`

FILE=`find /var/lib/rundeck/logs/rundeck/*/job/"${job.group}"/"${job.name}"/logs -name $ID.rdlog -type f | sed -e 's/ /\\ /g'`

then you can run the next job step

grep YOUR_CONDITION $FILE && conditionally-run-here..

Hope that helps,

K.

the current execution ID is availabe in the "job.execid" context variable. 

However I would recommend you capture the output of the script you want to parse in some other fashion, rather than grep'ing a rundeck rdlog file.
