date/time context variable

[Eryk Dworak]

I've tried to approach this problem from different angles, however the result is always the same. I cannot seem to pass 'date' variable to command.
What I require is a way to add a date to filename, i.e.:

/var/log/rundeck_${node.hostname}_${job.datetime}

I assume this is possible but I cannot find any reference to date/time context variable.

Any input would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Eryk

Hi Eryk,

Add an option called "datetime" with a default value containing a string like this: ${DATE:<format-specifier>}.

The format-specifier uses Java simple date format. Eg ${DATE:yyyyMM}. Your job could then name the log file as: /var/log/rundeck_${node.hostname}_${option.datetime}

Hi,

Sorry to dig up this thread, I have similar issue and can't find a solution.

When I put ${DATE:YYYY-MM-dd} in default value of an option, I got the string "${DATE:YYYY-MM-dd}" not the actual date. Is this tip still working ? I'm running 2.8.2.
