Dez,
You must make sure that your email is set correctly in Alerts first.
*** Alerts ***
to = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
from = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Otherwise they go off into thin air.
You might also check on a couple of other things.
1) By defining a mailhost, you are telling Smokeping to use the perl
based SMTP functionality in NET::SMTP. If you do not have this loaded,
it will not work.
2) Test your sendmail/SMTP functionality outside of Smokeping first.
Using sendmail (if that's what you so) try this:
# sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Testing
This is a test
.
#
That should let you know if Sendmail is working. Using the SMTP
function, you can write a simple perl script to do this.
use Net::SMTP;
my $smtp = NET::SMTP->new('smtp hostname');
$smtp->mail($fromaddress);
$smtp->to($toaddress);
$smtp->data();
$smtp->datasend("this is a test\n");
$smtp->dataend();
$smtp->quit;
See if you get those messages first.
Good luck!
Dan

Subject: [smokeping-users] smokeping email alerts
I've been trying to set up simple email alerts for smokeping targets
just to
get the hang of it. I do not receive any email alerts and I cant seem to
find
something wrong in my conf. Could anybody help?
Here's the relevant part of my config:
*** General ***
mailhost = smokehost.domain.com
sendmail = /usr/lib/sendmail
# specify this to get syslog logging
syslogfacility = local0
*** Alerts ***
to = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
from = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
+testloss
type = loss
# in percent
pattern = ==0%,==0%,==0%,==0%,>0%
comment = test packet loss
+hostdown
type = loss
# in percent
pattern = ==0%,==0%,==0%, ==U
comment = no reply
*** Probes ***
+ FPing
binary = /usr/local/bin/sfping
*** Targets ***
probe = FPing
++++++ loco
menu = aaa
title = aaa
host = a.b.c.d
alerts = hostdown,testloss
### end of config ###
Now, what I do to test my alerts is create a firewall rule to reject all
ICMP traffic
towards a.b.c.d and wait for the email alert, which never comes :(
Any syggestions?
