Set the name of pdf document with pdfserver

[krusty]

Hi there,

is it possible to set the name of the attached pdf document?
Usually the attached file was named by "splunk-report.pdf".
In my case I have to set the name individually.

For example: splunk_windows_errors_20120110.pdf

For you information. I have the problem that i have to store the attached files from splunk to our fileserver. If every attachment has the same name I got problems to handle it.

I store the files with the tool ripmime. Which is a fantastic tool.

Has anyone an idea how to set the filename of the attached file?

Regards

I have searched the splunk board and find this thread.
change filename of pdf

As you can read they modify the sendemail.py code to change the filename of the pdf document.

I have made some changes but the filenames are only 30 characters long.
Have anyone changed the sendemail.py too and get more than 30 characters in the filename?

The pdf files look like this:

20120113_113008_st_search.pdf
20120113_113007_srv060.pdf

The first pdf is wrong. The filename should look like 20120113_113008_test_search.pdf.
The second one is fine.

Here are the changes I've made.

    pdfviewfn = pdfview and pdfview.strip(' .:;|><\'"')
    filepart = subject and subject.strip('Splunk Alert: ')
#    logger.info('pdfview=%s pdfviewfn=%s subject=%s filepart=%s' % (pdfview, pdfviewfn, subject, filepart))
#    logger.debug('pdfview=%s pdfviewfn=%s' % (pdfview, pdfviewfn))

    datestamp = time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
    datecomplete = time.strftime("%Y%m%d_%H%M%S")

    if pdfviewfn:
        filename = '%s_%s.pdf' % (datecomplete, filepart)
#        filename = '%s-%s.pdf' % (pdfviewfn[:50], datestamp)

        # strip control characters, forward & backslash
        filename = re.sub(r'[\x00-\x1f\x7f/\\]+', '-', filename)
        if isinstance(filename, unicode):
            filename = ('utf-8', '', filename.encode('utf-8'))
    else:
        filename = '%s_%s.pdf' % (datecomplete, filepart)
#        filename = 'splunk-report-%s.pdf' % datestamp
