Summarized E-Mail Reports¶

Overview¶

Starting in version 0-1.3 Foreman can send a hourly / daily email report containing information about your nodes.

this information will include: List of hosts that had errors or that have performed any action through puppet.
additionally, it would include a list of all of your hosts which didn't run Puppet recently (defaults to 30 minutes).

Configuration¶

First, make sure that you enable emails in Foreman - at the Email configuration page.

Secondly, you would need to setup a cron job:

Available options: * days => number of days to scan backwards (defaults to 1) * hours => number of hours to scan backwards (defaults to disabled)

Example:

  rake reports:summarize days=3 RAILS_ENV="production" # Sends out a summary email for the last 3 days.

  rake reports:summarize hours=12 RAILS_ENV="production" # Sends out a summary email for the last 12 hours.

Recipients¶

If you are using LDAP authentication, Foreman will send the reports directly to all registered users, if that's not what you would like, add the following line to your config/settings.yaml file:

# where do send out daily report emails, comment out if you want to send to registered Foreman users instead.
