Discard output of docker system prune about ansible-docker HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi,

If you don't want to receive the email you can just override the default without modifying this role.

Just supply this in your inventory variables for the servers:

docker_cron_tasks:
  - job: docker system prune -f &>/dev/null
    name: "Docker clean up"
    schedule: ["0", "0", "*", "*", "0"]

That will override this role's default and you're good to go.

You're right with that approach but I thought others may have the same "issue" and are interested in a built in solution.

I'll think about it, and leave this open for a bit to see if anyone else has any feedback.

If you wanted to suppress all cron messages, to me that, that's something that should be done at the system level by configuring cron itself, not at the individual cron job level.

Another thing to think about would be only redirecting STDOUT to /dev/null, this way if there's a problem, it gets mailed to you. What do you think about that?

from ansible-docker.

I prefer to avoid generating messages with low level informations (command output control) then filtering them after their creation (mail filter). Running this at scale would force the role user to implement a additional filter in another place/role when he decides to pick this Docker role. So he can't just use it, he'll have to spend additional effort in his environment as the role does not give him the choice what to receive.

Forwarding would be a better approach, yes. We only can hope that Docker puts his messages into the right channels then :).

Ok, I'll remove all of it. It'll be in the next release.
