Session description check

🛒 More SmartTasks
👍 Tested to be working with R81.20+

SmartTask to verify that a session description is at least 20 characters.

Script code

Copy the code below into a new script 'Task_SessionDescrLength' of your SmartConsole script repository.

test `cat $1|jq -r .session.\"session-description\"|wc -c` -le 20 && echo '{"result":"failure","message":"Session description should be at least 20 characters"}' || echo '{"result":"success"}'

SmartTask

Create a new SmartTask in SmartConsole > Manage & Settings > SmartTasks and install policy to activate the new task.

Verified in R81.20 lab. for "Session Name"

It also works perfectly with session name..
Just it will be necessary to modify the script the way Danny wrote in my post:
"change "session-description" to "session-name" and adjust the message accordingly".

By doing this, you get the failure message when publishing with a session name is less of 20 characters, and you get the success message (see bellow) when publishing with a session name longer than 20 characters

Thats right @patones1 . I got exact same behavior in my R81.20 lab.
