Job Output as HTML

[Ed Carter]

HI there,

I am looking at the log filter plugin, specifically to render job output as HTML. I'm confused how to style the HTML though. Do you have any examples of how I could make the output of a powershell or bash script look pretty to the user executing the job in the rundeck console?

Thanks!

Hi Ed,

Check this example, the filter basically renders any HTML output on GUI:

<joblist>
  <job>
    <context>
      <options preserveOrder='true'>
        <option name='age' required='true' value='18' />
      </options>
    </context>
    <defaultTab>nodes</defaultTab>
    <description></description>
    <executionEnabled>true</executionEnabled>
    <id>7e99966c-5ef6-46ad-bc7c-a2dcf2a02e11</id>
    <loglevel>INFO</loglevel>
    <name>HTMLExample</name>
    <nodeFilterEditable>false</nodeFilterEditable>
    <plugins />
    <scheduleEnabled>true</scheduleEnabled>
    <sequence keepgoing='false' strategy='node-first'>
      <command>
        <fileExtension>.sh</fileExtension>
        <plugins>
          <LogFilter type='render-datatype'>
            <config>
              <datatype>text/html</datatype>
              <sanitizeHtml>true</sanitizeHtml>
              <striped>false</striped>
            </config>
          </LogFilter>
        </plugins>
        <script><![CDATA[echo "<strong>USER:</strong> @job.username@"
echo "<strong>AGE:</strong> @option.age@"]]></script>
        <scriptargs />
        <scriptinterpreter>/bin/bash</scriptinterpreter>
      </command>
    </sequence>
    <uuid>7e99966c-5ef6-46ad-bc7c-a2dcf2a02e11</uuid>
  </job>
</joblist>

You can see the difference, here without HTML filter, and here using HTML output filter.

Hope it helps!
