Rundeck Email Notification Plugin

[Atchuth Surisetti]

Hi all,

I have SMTP template to send the email data. But it could not reflect rundeck UI anymore.

However I need have EMAIL plugin to send notifications when a job was failed. 

Could you please help me out on this, thank you in advance.

Hi Atchuth,

That config isn't reflected on the GUI.

To get it works you need to configure some things on your rundeck-config.properties file and restart the Rundeck service. Let me share an example:

1. Stop the Rundeck service and locate the rundeck-config.properties file (usually at /etc/rundeck path if you have a Debian/Redhat based installation).

2. Add the following lines to configure the SMTP server (more info here):

grails.mail.host=smtp_server_url
grails.mail.port=25
grails.mail.username=username
grails.mail.password=password

3. Then add the following lines to configure the template parameters (more info an customization settings here):

rundeck.mail.template.subject=template
rundeck.mail.template.file=/path/to/your/template.html
rundeck.mail.template.log.formatted=true

4. Save the file and start the Rundeck instance.

5. Now, let's create a test job to see what happens when a job fails, so, create a new job with an invalid command. Also, go to "Notifications" tab and add an "On Failure" > "Send Email" (take a look), then save the job.

6. Run the job and see your SMPT inbox server.

A good place to test your email settings and templates is mailtrap.io, is a SMTP fake server.

Hope it helps!
