h1. Summarized E-Mail Reports 

 h2. 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). 

 h2. Configuration 

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

 Secondly, you 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: 
 <pre> 
   rake reports:summarize days=3 RAILS_ENV="production" # Sends out a summary email for the last 3 days. 
 </pre> 
 or 
 <pre> 
   rake reports:summarize hours=12 RAILS_ENV="production" # Sends out a summary email for the last 12 hours. 
 </pre> 

 h3. 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: 
 <pre> 
 # where do send out daily report emails, comment out if you want to send to registered Foreman users instead. 
 :administrator: ohadlevy@gmail.com 
 </pre>
