Attach script log to Alert email

All,

I have configured an system alert on qmc reload task failure. I successfully received the email.

Wondering if it is possible to attach script logs to the email alert instead of login to qmc and download the logs.

Thanks

Don't think it's possible to get the script logs given what's available out of the box in Sense Enterprise on Windows.


As things stand right now you'll need some third party solution that will pull the script logs via the Sense APIs, then make them available to you in desired form.

I know you've already looked at Butler (which can send script error logs to email, Slack, Teams and as webhooks), but including that reference anyway, in case others are interested.
A nice feature of Butler is that you can specify how many lines from the beginning and/or end of the script that you want included in the alert - this makes it easy to immediately see what caused the reload failure.

Some setting up and configuration is needed, but it's not too bad. You can usually be up and running with custom alert notifications within half an hour or so.

Actually I once attempted to configure Butler. I could say half way through but it did not work, may be the steps are not clear for me.

I have an 3 node cluster (Dev/Prod - Central /Prod). Is it possible for you to provide me with an  cleaner install / config document ?

Thanks
