Sending E-Mail Alert on Weblogic Server Shutdown using WLST

I had to develop a simple script to send e-mail alert when the Managed Server goes down. From whatever time I had, I developed a script that does that, it can be enhanced further depending on the requirement.

I used mailx to send mails, you need to get in touch with your System Administrator if its not configured. You can also use the smtplib that comes with Python. However I found mailx simpler as it was preconfigured in my environment

import os

def sendMail(name, state):
string = name+” is in ” + state + ” state”
cmd = “echo ” + string + ” > tmpfile”
os.system(cmd)
os.system(‘/usr/bin/mailx -s ” SERVER STATE” faisal.k@test.com < tmpfile’)

def getServerNames():
domainConfig()
return cmo.getServers()

def serverStatus(server):
cd(‘/ServerLifeCycleRuntimes/’ +server)
return cmo.getState()

def sendAlert():
connect(‘weblogic’,’weblogic’,’t3://localhost:7001′)
serverNames= getServerNames()

domainRuntime()

for name in serverNames:
print name.getName()
serverState = serverStatus(name.getName())
print serverState

if serverState == “SHUTDOWN”:
sendMail(name.getName(), serverState)

if __name__== “main”:
sendAlert()
print ’sent!’

  1. Hi Faisal,

    I tried your script, and seems like iam missing something.
    what i have done is i have incorporated your script with a shell script which looks like:

    #!/bin/sh

    # set up WL_HOME, the root directory of your WebLogic installation
    WL_HOME=”/apps/bea/wl92/weblogic92″

    # set up common environment
    . “${WL_HOME}/server/bin/setWLSEnv.sh”

    CLASSPATH=”${CLASSPATH}:${WL_HOME}/common/eval/pointbase/lib/pbembedded51.jar:${WL_HOME}/common/eval/pointbase/lib/pbtools51.jar:
    ${WL_HOME}/common/eval/pointbase/lib/pbclient51.jar”

    echo
    echo CLASSPATH=${CLASSPATH}

    “${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java” weblogic.WLST $* test.py

    when i Run the above script, it exits with error saying:

    bash-3.00$ ./test.sh
    CLASSPATH=/apps/bea/wl92/patch_weblogic923/profiles/default/sys_manifest_classpath/weblogic_patch.jar:/apps/bea/wl92/jdk150_12/lib/tools.jar:/apps/bea/wl92/weblogic92/server/lib/weblogic_sp.jar:/apps/bea/wl92/weblogic92/server/lib/weblogic.jar:/apps/bea/wl92/weblogic92/server/lib/webservices.jar:

    Your environment has been set.

    1. Yes, in Windows environment we will have to use an SMTP Server.
