+1 for handlers. we have an email exception handler. The handler is applied in our base role (early on), in QA and Prod environments, but disabled in other environments so we don't spam ourselves while developing and testing updates. We are still pretty early on in our implementation, but so far this has been working for us.

I'm not sure if it's the quickest, but we use Chef handlers: http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Exception+and+Report+Handlers

Hi all,

 

We’re fairly new to chef and have been manually executing chef runs on one or many nodes.  We just made the move to run it as a service via the chef-client cookbook.

 

What’s the quickest way to make sure that we’re getting notified when there are problems during a chef run?  What’s the best way?

 

Thanks,

Paul
