Send notification at the end of a deployment

[Robert Markula]

Hi Romain,

take a look at the chapter "Saving log files" in the FAI guide [1]. If 
configured, FAI can save all logs to a remote log server via SSH.

That being said, I find it difficult to define when a host install 
process has actually failed. There are often situations where an install 
completes successfully, but the following bootup fails because some 
minor thing broke during install, e.g. because GRUB hasn't been set up 
correctly. And even if the system boots successfully, maybe a critical 
component during install failed which prevents you from logging in remotely.

So I always check at least the FAI error.log on the log server to get a 
quick glimpse if anything went wrong during install. On automated 
systems I have mechanisms in place that essentially perform integrity 
checks on the newly installed system and that are capable of fixing 
select issues like a broken SSH access.

Cheers,


Robert
