Hi Javier,

Unfortunately, it's not possible currently which means there is no API end point to help you. What I can tell you is that states results are saved in rhnActionApplyStatesResult table. PRs are always welcome though in case you decide to add such API endpoint :-)

Best regards,

Abid

Hi all

 

We have State Channels and run them once a day to ensure everything is set up to our guidelines. If one of those events fails or even if it is successful but changes had to be made, I want to know.

 

I can get failed actions using spacecmd schedule_listfailed and more details with schedule_getoutput. However, I haven’t been able to identify events that were successful, but had to do changes on the system.

 

The needed information is available in the WebUI in the System History Event (Systems > SystemXY > Events > History > EventXY).

 

First there are the details of the event:

 

> This action will be executed after 5/7/20 10:16:43 AM CEST
> This action's status is: Completed.
> The client completed this action on 5/7/20 10:16:48 AM CEST
> Client execution returned

 

Then there is a box which says:

> Successfully applied state(s): [custom]

 

Then comes a second box which contains the information I need. It looks something like this:

 

Results:

----------

          ID: /etc/environment_TERM

    Function: file.blockreplace

        Name: /etc/environment

      Result: true

     Comment: Changes were made

     Started: 10:16:48.450723

    Duration: 4.14

         SLS: manager_org_2.base_environment

     Changed: diff: "---

              +++

              @@ -4,4 +4,5 @@

               # Syntax: simple \"KEY=VAL\" pairs on seperate lines

               #

               # BLOCK TOP : salt managed zone. Do not edit!!

              +TERM=xterm

              \

                  \ # BLOCK BOTTOM : end of salt managed zone

              "

 

 

I also tried to get this information by using the API (system.listSystemEvents() and schedule.listFailedSystems()) but I can’t get more than the details about the action and the message from the first box.

 

Any suggestions how I could get to this information by CLI or the API?

 

I tried with Uyuni 4.0.2 and SUSE Manager 4.0.4.

 

Regards,

Javier
