unable to Import job in rundeck through curl command from local directory or AWS S3

Question

I used this curl command to import a test.xml job to rundeck but it's not working.

curl -v "X-Rundeck-Auth-Token:XXXXX" -F xmlBatch=@"/home/ec2-user/test.xml" --insecure https://hostaname:4443/api/14/project/DistributedArchitecture/jobs/import

This error comes up on the Linux box:

I had the same issue. I used this command.

 curl -v -H x-rundeck-auth-token:<YOUR TOKEN> http://RUNDECK-SERVER:4440/api/16/project/<Job-Name>/jobs/import -F xmlBatch=@"job.xml" 

this is what my job.xml looks like

<joblist>
<job>
<description>Job Description here!!</description>
<dispatch>
  <excludePrecedence>true</excludePrecedence>
  <keepgoing>false</keepgoing>
  <rankOrder>ascending</rankOrder>
  <successOnEmptyNodeFilter>false</successOnEmptyNodeFilter>
  <threadcount>1</threadcount>
</dispatch>
<executionEnabled>true</executionEnabled>
<loglevel>INFO</loglevel>
<name>MyJobName-xyz</name>
<nodeFilterEditable>false</nodeFilterEditable>
<nodefilters>
  <filter>localhost</filter>
</nodefilters>
<nodesSelectedByDefault>true</nodesSelectedByDefault>
<scheduleEnabled>true</scheduleEnabled>
<sequence keepgoing='false' strategy='node-first'>
  <command>
    <description>listing</description>
    <exec>ls --all</exec>
  </command>
</sequence>
</job>
</joblist>

This should list all in a target.
Hope this helps.

You can use the S3 log storage plugin. This is a plugin for Rundeck that uses Amazon S3 to store execution log files, for backup or for cloud-friendly behavior.
