Ansible Tower: Send e-mail if the project failed

I would like to get a e-mail when the project failed. So I've created a task at the end of the file wich sends me an e-mail. The problem is now that when a task failed also the hole project failed and the e-mail task wouldn't triggered.

Can somebody help me?

(I'm using Ansible Tower)

You should create a callback plugin where you can react on any situation like failed tasks.

Here is an example for a HipChat notification. It's not too hard to modify it to send email messages directly with a local or remote smtp.

Edit: Actually there is a mail callback plugin.

ansible tower itself provide this feature you can create a notification template as described in https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/3.0/html/userguide/notifications.html#id1

What if you send the mail from shell depending on the return code of ansible-playbook command ?

here's a sample shell script:


ANSIBLE_OUTPUT=$(ansible-playbook site.yml -K)

if [ $? != 0 ]; then
    echo "playbook failed! OUTPUT: ${ANSIBLE_OUTPUT}" | mail -s "playbook results" your_email@your_email_domain
else
    echo "playbook executed successfully!" | mail -s "playbook results" your_email@your_email_domain
fi
