New CheckLicenseJob job template

Current Situation

• Users of subscription licenses receive warnings and errors about expiration of licenses from the JOC Cockpit GUI.
  • For details see JS7 - How to manage license expiration warnings
• Users would like to receive e-mail notification about upcoming license expiration and expired licenses.

Desired Behavior

• A Unix Shell implementation is available, see next chapter.
• A JITL CheckLicenseJob Job Template should be added that implements the functionality of the Unix Shell solution.

Unix Shell Solution

• The attached Unix Shell solution is used to send e-mail in case of license expiration:
• check-license.sh
  • Shell script applicable for Unix bash and the jq utility.
  • For usage run: ./check-license.sh -h
    • Example:

      ./check-license.sh --url=https://joc-2-0-primary.sos:7443 --user=root --password=root
      

      runs with defaults for a 60 days license expiration check

    • Example

      ./check-license.sh --url=https://joc-2-0-primary.sos:7443 --user=root --password=root --validity-days=90
      

      runs a 90 days license expiration check

  • The script returns exit code 2 for an expired license, exit code 3 for upcoming license expiration.
• pduCheckLicenseShell.workflow.json
  Sample workflow to run the check-license.sh script and to forward output by mail.
  We might implement this from a new JITL Job that will be platform independent.
