In regard to: [Networker] savegroup completion notices separate success and...:
hello
Using 7.1 on Solaris.
Our savegroup completion notification is an email to admins. We would
like to refine the way this works if possible.
The notification will report for example "Default completed, total 5
client(s), 0 Hostname(s) Unresolved, 0 Failed, 5 Succeeded."
If there is a failure for that group then the message will change to for eg
"...2 Failed, 3 Succeeded."
I don't know what your mail environment is like, but if you're familiar
with using a filtering package like "procmail" or "forward", it should
be very easy to accomplish this *on the receiving end*. It sounds like
you're looking at tackling this on the sending end, which is fine too.
If you go the procmail route, you could do something like
- set up either an account (like "backup" or "savegrp") on either your
Solaris backup server or another Linux/UNIX server
or
- set up an alias like "savegrp" on the backup server or some other
server.
- send all of the savegroup email to that account or alias.
- have the account or alias set to use procmail, and
- save a copy of all mail
and
- if the message has "Unresolved, 0 Failed" in the subject, send to
addressA
- if the message has "Unresolved, [^0] Failed" in the subject, send
to addressB
- if the message has "bootstrap" in it, send it to some off-site email
address (like a personal gmail address for a couple of your admins,
etc).
