User Story

As a person operating the DNF counting scripts,

I want that they use fedora-messaging to send notifications over the Fedora message bus,

so that we can debug things better and also examine how it operated in the past.

Prerequisites

• Know how to use fedora-messaging to send messages from shell scripts as well as Python programs.

Acceptance Criteria

• A message topic (root) has been defined. ⇒ logging.stats
• Message schemas which can carry the information we want to carry have been defined. ⇒ HackMD doc
• The shell scripts and Python programs involved are set up to send messages over the bus (code & config).
• Each of them sends a bus message at the start and end of their execution (we can make this finer granular, outside of this issue).

Background

Currently we have a way for the script to send us emails, but this doesn't work reliably (even though it's okay to leave in place). Sending a message can trigger an email if we want, but the thing we are after is a trace of the execution.
