Hello Jose,

as far as I know that’s not possible with onboard resources but you can use tools from python. Here is a working example with smtplib:

import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.base import MIMEBase
from email import encoders
import os.path

email = 'sender@domain.com'
send_to_email = 'receiver1@domain.com,receiver1@domain.com'
subject = 'My message'
message = 'My text'
file_location = '/var/log/myAttachment.txt'

msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['From'] = email
msg['To'] = send_to_email
msg['Subject'] = subject

msg.attach(MIMEText(message, 'plain'))

# Setup the attachment
filename = os.path.basename(file_location)
attachment = open(file_location, "rb")
part = MIMEBase('application', 'octet-stream')
part.set_payload(attachment.read())
encoders.encode_base64(part)
part.add_header('Content-Disposition', "attachment; filename= %s" % filename)

# Attach the attachment to the MIMEMultipart object
msg.attach(part)

server = smtplib.SMTP('1.1.1.1',25)
text = msg.as_string()
server.sendmail(email, send_to_email.split(','), text)
server.quit()

Hi,

In the extreme git there are some workflows, like the Aggregate report Alarm History, were you generate for example a csv file, and then in mail activity you send the mail with the csv file in attached.

What I don’t understand is who to put the csv file in the mail activity.

Sure,

is in the workflows page:

https://github.com/extremenetworks/ExtremeScripting/tree/master/Netsight/oneview_workflows

And the workflow:

https://github.com/extremenetworks/ExtremeScripting/blob/master/Netsight/oneview_workflows/xwf/Link_Aggregate_Alarm-8.4.0.115v8.xwf?raw=true

This is one example that I use. It sends me a csv file with the alarms for the last 24 hours.

The File is put to the location configured with the variable “FilePath”. Per default it is /tmp.

Have a look to the workflow Variables.

Thanks,

I understand, if a variable exists with a file it is automatically add to the email.
