Syslog: introduce interfaces for e-mail sending

Interfaces to configure multiple e-mail destinations, each with an
individual threshold for the priority level of the syslog messages.

The idea is to provide facilities to implement a minimally useful subset
of Redfish Event Destinations for e-mail with ability to add additional
properties if the need arises.

D-Bus object path for each destination contains 8 digits of a mailto
hash, so Level can be changed later but for another URI a new object
needs to be created.

Current set of properties is made on assumption that organisation has an
SMTP smarthost (that BMC is allowed to use without authentication) which
takes care of dispatching messages; rsyslog's ommail module is
considered for the initial implementation.

phosphor-dbus-interfaces

YAML descriptors of standard D-Bus interfaces. The format is described by the sdbusplus binding generation tool sdbus++.

Building

This project can be built with meson. The typical meson workflow is: meson builddir && ninja -C builddir.

The meson files used to handle the YAML files are automatically generated and found under the gen subdirectory. When adding or removing YAML files, this must be regenerated. This can be done with the helper script found in the gen subdirectory: cd gen && ./regenerate-meson.

Configuration

Only the xyz/openbmc_project and org/freedesktop interfaces are built by default. Other interfaces can be enabled by meson options:

  • com/ibm - -Ddata_com_ibm=true
  • org/open_power - -Ddata_org_open_power=true

Example: meson builddir -Ddata_com_ibm=true && ninja -C builddir
