ETL Chain to Send Email alert based on script output

[hidayah]

This entry guides you through the steps to search for certain keywords based on the script output. The Chainset in this example carries out the following tasks:

→ Run a script using an ETL chain.
→ Search for certain keywords based on the values the script returns.
→ Define an If-Else chain step and send a Email notification where necessary.

1/ Firstly, do refer to Step 1 and Step 2 of the following entry below as a guide on how to create an ETL Chainset to run a script.

How to run a Bash Script and Schedule it as a job in Ambience 202x

This entry guides you through the steps on how to run a Bash script and schedule it as a job in Ambience 202x In this scenario, we will show how Ambience 202x executes the bash script. Then we will show how to create a scheduler in Ambience 202x to schedule the bash script execution. Step 1: Go to your etc/application.conf file in your Ambience program folder and open it using your preferred editor (e.g., vi, nano) then add the following variable (i.e Runbashscript) under the ambience.etl no…

2/ Using the same ETL Chainset, add another step called “Array Contains” and define the keyword to be searched based on the script output as shown in the screenshot below.

Array Field refers to the field that outputs the script results.
Value is the field to input in the string/integer value to test against.
Result Field refers to the field that will be set to true of the array contains the fixed value, else false.

3/ Based on your use case, you may either add a “Chain If” step to invoke 1 Chainset. Else, you may choose to add a “Chain If Else” step to invoke 2 different Chainset’s based on the results from Step 2.

4/ Here’s an example of a Chainset that sends an email notification. **Do take note that email server needs to be configured accordingly in the etc/application.conf file.
