Log job modifications

Reported by Alex-SF | 2011-04-26 11:05:54 UTC | in Rundeck 1.3 (closed)

Whenever a job is created, modified or deleted, it should be logged. This could be the service.log or a separate log file. Information must include:

User
Time
Job group/name

Nice to haves for job updates, distinguish if it is a

sequence change
step change
option change

Like the ability to trace where the job was copied from before the modification.
Greg Schueler 2011-04-26 11:31:05 UTC
what is the difference between "sequence change" and "step change"? do you mean re-order of workflow sequence, vs. modification of a step?

Also, how about: method of job modification, e.g. XML uploade, API, GUI?
- also track Job ID to correlate b/w name changes
So something like this?
```
greg [timestamp] [ID1] "some/job" * MODIFIED: workflow[+1,-2,*3], options[+1], nodefilter, description
greg [timestamp] [ID2] "another/job" * CREATED
greg [timestamp] [ID3] "third/job" * DELETED
```
The +1,-2 etc are perhaps optimistic because recording simplified diff between workflow changes might not be possible/easy.
Alex-SF 2011-04-26 11:34:45 UTC
Sequence change meant adding/re-ordering the steps.
Yah method of job modification is important.
Alex-SF 2011-04-26 11:35:42 UTC
BTW, if we ultimately start serializing job defs to a file on disk, then perhaps characterizing the kind of change in the log is less important.

+1

If there on disk, then you can use diff to compare them (or some equivalent tool). Probably fits into an existing tool chain much easier.

here's some sample output using this log4j format:
