send mail when node becomes unreported

[pulven]

Is there a way to make puppetboard send a mail when a node becomes unreported?

Hi @pulven! Thanks for asking. No, there is no such feature. Actually the app is a read-only in all areas as of now and it's doesn't have any kind of email interface.

Theoretically, if you or someone else would be interested in implementing it, it could be added. However I would personally find it more interesting if it would use Slack for notifications rather than emails. We could have 2 kinds of messages sent:

• notifications about nodes become unreported but maybe also about them starting to fail,
• periodical summary reports per whole instance or per environment, This seem to match with our "aiming to replace the reporting functionality" promise.

So we are open to PRs!

Hi @gdubicki, Does the app remain in read-only mode? Would it be possible to get manifest versioning details for nodes in puppetboard?

Does the app remain in read-only mode?

Nothing has changed since December here.

Would it be possible to get manifest versioning details for nodes in puppetboard?

Can you elaborate please? What manifest are you writing about? Does it relate to original issue about nodes becoming unreported?

@gdubicki, , I appreciate your help. I'm looking to employ a CI/CD pipeline to keep track of the versions of my manifest files (*.pp). Is there any way I can view this versioning information in the Puppet board?
