Plugin Job scheduling

Lindani_Phiri · October 7, 2016, 4:33pm

What options do we have scheduling jobs for a foreman plugin?

The requirement I have is for some scheduler to trigger code in my plugin
at set intervals.

There's a bunch of plugins that use it, including katello, foreman_salt, and
foreman_remote_execution.

You could also opt for rake tasks + cron jobs, if you need something
similar, which is what foreman core itself does.

FYI: we are currently in process of getting even some Foreman core
things to run via foreman-tasks and we expect even more work to be done
in this area pretty soon. You can also checkout the remote execution
documentation on how it's being used right now [1]

Could you talk more about your plugin requirements?

Hi Ivan,

Thanks for the additional info.
My plugin requirement is quite simple - I need to have a job/task that
runs in the background when the Foreman/Katello server is running.
The task will periodically (e.g… every 24 hours) call a remote API and
based on the results execute actions such as send emails to users.
