Alert Emails Not sending
Guys,
Only new to Observium and it's a great product!
Setting up the email alerts and testing from the cli works perfectly however automated alerts configured via the interface do not send. The alerts trigger in the interface and the contact groups are configured.

Remove all of the SMTP configutation and just let php send the mail using the local MTA itself.
You'll need to make sure one is installed, but its fairly straightforward with Debian/Ubuntu.

Ahh indeed, that's true. You never actually tell it to use SMTP, even though you set the SMTP options!
In that case, make sure the local mail relay is installed and configured (probably just apt-get install postfix) and check /var/log/mail.log

Does the alert log show them as being sent?
They will only be sent when they first occur, so you'll need to have new ones for any new alerts to be sent.

In that case, make sure the local mail relay is installed and configured (probably just apt-get install postfix) and check /var/log/mail.log

Hi,
I can confirm that installing postfix and hardcode the reciving mailbox in config.php works. But it doesn't use the contacts im making in the observium gui which seems to be the same issue Cameron has.
the funny thing is my spam filter blocks the email, well to be expected, but it shows it comming from root@observium even though my config.php says:
// Set up a default alerter (email to a single address) $config['email']['default'] = "it@dingit.dk"; $config['email']['from'] = "Observium observium@dingit.dk"; $config['email']['default_only'] = TRUE;
any ideas?
Also i couldn't find any documentation on how to set up email service in observium. I figured it out from Adams and Cameron conversation on the mail list.

It seems my problem may stray from Camerons so i decided to make my own mail with the issues im facing.
im thinking my problem with from mail being root@observium01 is because I have not configured a domain and postfix creates a default from sender called root@hostname.domain and since i have no domian that becomes root@observium01. But shouldn't it be using the from mail in the config.php?

It seems my problem may stray from Camerons so i decided to make my own mail with the issues im facing.
im thinking my problem with from mail being root@observium01 is because I have not configured a domain and postfix creates a default from sender called root@hostname.domain and since i have no domian that becomes root@observium01. But shouldn't it be using the from mail in the config.php?

Hi,
I can confirm that installing postfix and hardcode the reciving mailbox in config.php works. But it doesn't use the contacts im making in the observium gui which seems to be the same issue Cameron has.
the funny thing is my spam filter blocks the email, well to be expected, but it shows it comming from root@observium even though my config.php says:
// Set up a default alerter (email to a single address) $config['email']['default'] = "it@dingit.dk"; $config['email']['from'] = "Observium observium@dingit.dk"; $config['email']['default_only'] = TRUE;
any ideas?
Also i couldn't find any documentation on how to set up email service in observium. I figured it out from Adams and Cameron conversation on the mail list.

Does the alert log show them as being sent?
They will only be sent when they first occur, so you'll need to have new ones for any new alerts to be sent.

Ahh indeed, that's true. You never actually tell it to use SMTP, even though you set the SMTP options!
In that case, make sure the local mail relay is installed and configured (probably just apt-get install postfix) and check /var/log/mail.log

Thanks Adam,
It appears to already be using the php backend to send emails:
E-mails ENABLED globally ($config['email']['enable'])
E-mails use PHP-builtin MAIL backend ($config['email']['backend'])
E-mails send only to default email ($config['email']['default_only'])
E-mails use these default recipient(s) ($config['email']['default']):

Remove all of the SMTP configutation and just let php send the mail using the local MTA itself.
You'll need to make sure one is installed, but its fairly straightforward with Debian/Ubuntu.

Guys,
Only new to Observium and it’s a great product!
Setting up the email alerts and testing from the cli works perfectly however automated alerts configured via the interface do not send. The alerts trigger in the interface and the contact groups are configured.
