alerts - pointing at mail server
list Richard Kennard
Dear All, I've probably missed something obvious but........ I've set up some basic alerts in my hobbit config. Looking at the logs indicates that they are being triggered and attempting to send mail to the specified address. However - no mail arrives. I'm sure the reason is that the server doesn't know where to send them - I can't seem to find anywhere in the hobbit config files where I can tell it about my local smtp server. Do I need to be configuring sendmail on my hobit server or? Cheers! Rich

Hobbit uses whatever mail agent is specified in ..server/etc/bbdef.sh (I think that's the file) If using sendmail, you need to configure sendmail so it knows what to do.... Tom Callahan

Dear All,

I've set up some basic alerts in my hobbit config. Looking at the logs
indicates that they are being triggered and attempting to send mail
to the specified address.
However - no mail arrives. I'm sure the reason is that the server
doesn't know where to send them - I can't seem to find anywhere in the
hobbit config files where I can tell it about my local smtp server.
Do I need to be configuring sendmail on my hobit server or?
Cheers!

Hobbit just calls the "mail" utility on your system - often that in turn invokes sendmail to actually deliver the mail. So yes, you need to configure mail on your box for Hobbit to deliver alerts via e-mail. Henrik
