Adds a systemd unit [email protected] to be used with OnFailure to mail the output of journald.
| Variable | Function | Default |
|---|---|---|
| systemd_failure_unit | List with environment variables to override sender/recipient | {} |
| systemd_failure_unit_manage_env | If yes, unneeded env-files in /etc/systemd-notify will be deleted | no |
In an existing systemd unit or an override, the following has to be added:
[Unit]
OnFailure=notify-failure@%i.service
Be sure to to an systemd daemon-reload afterwards to load the changes.
Additional Environment variables will be loaded from /etc/systemd-notify/%i.env, where %i is the name of the service with the OnFailure directive.
There are two environment variables to change sender and recipient of the mail
| Variable | Function | Default |
|---|---|---|
| MAILFROM | Override sender | systemd <root@$HOSTNAME> |
| MAILTO | Override recipient | root |
This can be done per unit with the systemd_failure_unit variable. The format is as follows:
systemd_failure_unit:
unit_name:
mailfrom: [email protected]
mailto: [email protected]Keys below the unit_name will simply be converted to uppercase and written to the environment file.
If your unit with the OnFailure-Statement is called "example" and you want to sent an E-Mail to [email protected], the configuration looks like:
systemd_failure_unit:
unit_name:
mailto: [email protected]MIT License
