System Notifications - PHP

[TheMoodBoardz]

Hi All,

I have limited knowledge on PHP commands, ect.

The Expected check-in, Item expiration, Low inventory alerts, Audit Due / Overdue require php commands to send however its not clear if these should be on a timer or not. I thought Crontab managed when it would send, but I am wrong.

Hope you can help!

@TheMoodBoardz the package is already configured to run the cron every minute as per https://snipe-it.readme.io/docs/configuring-alerts-backups

@girish that's what I thought however it does not seem to do it for us as we have only had the "Audit Due / Overdue" email today as I used the php command

[girish]

@TheMoodBoardz which php command did you use?

[TheMoodBoardz]

php artisan snipeit:upcoming-audits

[TheMoodBoardz]

they can be found here https://snipe-it.readme.io/docs/notifications-overview

@TheMoodBoardz so per https://snipe-it.readme.io/docs/configuring-alerts-backups the default is like below. As you can see, the upcoming-audits is only run once a day.

$schedule->command('snipeit:expiring-alerts')->daily();
$schedule->command('snipeit:inventory-alerts')->daily();
$schedule->command('snipeit:backup')->weekly();
$schedule->command('backup:clean')->daily();
$schedule->command('snipeit:expected-checkin')->daily();
$schedule->command('snipeit:upcoming-audits')->daily();
$schedule->command('auth:clear-resets')->everyFifteenMinutes();

@TheMoodBoardz you can setup for hourly run (or whatever schedule you prefer) using https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/#cron .

So, just put an entry like (sudo -E -u makes it run as www-data user):

@hourly sudo -E -u www-data php /app/code/artisan snipeit:upcoming-audits

If you want some logs:

@hourly echo "== Running upcoming-audits alert" && sudo -E -u www-data php /app/code/artisan snipeit:upcoming-audits

@girish yes that's fixed it. Thanks
