The RED scheduler can send email notifications when jobs fail or complete successfully. This section provides instructions on how to add the required configurations.
Adding email settings during Scheduler Installation
On the Email Configuration screen, select Enable email notifications.
Enter the required information.
Click Next to continue with the Scheduler installation
On the Summary screen, verify your settings are correct and continue with the installation.
Setting up the notification recipient
- Open RED, go to the Host Script node and expand it.
- Find and edit the wsl_scheduler_publish script.
- In the wsl_scheduler_publish script find the failure.emails entry.
- Change noreply@foo.com to the email address that will receive notifications.
- Save the Script.
Configuring email settings manually
If you didn't provide email settings during the scheduler installation, you can add them manually. You need to edit the azkaban.local.properties configuration file in the WEB_SERVER and EXEC_SERVER folders, these folders are located in the Scheduler installation folder, for example c:\pathtoscheduler\WEB_SERVER and c:\pathtoscheduler\WEB_SERVER
Open azkaban.local.properties and change these parameters to add the email settings:
mail.tsl
Set this parameter to true if the mail server uses TSL, otherwise leave the value as false.
mail.host
In this parameter enter the mail host.
mail.port
Change its value to the port your mail server uses.
mail.password
In this parameter enter the encrypted password for the account that will send notifications. To learn more about encrypting the password refer to RED Scheduler Configuration and Encryption Utility.
mail.user
In this parameter enter the username for the account that will send notifications.
mail.sender
In this parameter enter the email address used for sending notifications.
mail.useAuth
Set the value to true to enable authentication.
Important
Once you add your configurations to azkaban.local.properties in both WEB_SERVER and EXEC_SERVER, you need to restart the Azkaban Webserver and Executor.
