Rundeck Community Office Hours: Using Variables with Job Steps
0 likes•132 views
The document is about using variables with job steps in Rundeck, presented during an office hours event in March 2022. It covers various types of variables, including job context, node context, option context, and execution context, as well as the use of log filters in job output management. Resources and community engagement opportunities are also provided for further learning.
![Context Variables
Job Context
Includes variables related to the Job Itself
including the Job’s Name, Group, ID, Execution
ID, and more.
[job.name, job.group]
Node Context
When executing a Node Steps the Node Context can
be used to gather information from the Node Entry
like hostname, username, and any other field
configured on the node from Node Sources.
[node.name, node.region]
Option Context
Includes variables that are input as Job Options
when the job is executed. These options are
customized per job.
[option.inputname]
Execution Context
Includes data about the job execution after the job
has completed. Commonly used in Notifications to
provide job completion information.
[execution.href, execution.status]

![Log Filters
Log Filters can be used to react to job output as the Job processes. They can transform the
output, and save variables for use in later steps. Log Filters can be Global, and apply to all
steps, or configured only on individual steps.
● Key Value Data
● Multi-line Regex
● JSON JQ*
● Mask Passwords
● Render Formatted Data
● Quiet Output
● Highlight Output
