Hi!

I’m new with Centreon and I need to send an email notification when a server is down or disk full (for example)

I configure notification with my host & services but I have a problem with the smtp configuration (I have en exchang server onpremise)

I found this:

 

https://docs.centreon.com/docs/alerts-notifications/notif-configuration/#:~:text=Go%20to%20Configuration%20%3E%20Users%20%3E%20Contacts,on%20the%20closest%20parent%20template.

And this:

https://docs.centreon.com/fr/docs/administration/postfix/

 

I tried to confiure postfix but not receive any mail. There are another way our up to date steps to configure email smtp? Not possible with GUI?

 

Thanks a lot

Hello !

 

Do you receive a mail with the following command ?

echo "Test" | mail -s "Test" utilisateur@fai.com

no. Nothing

So the problem is probably on your Postfix config, can you give your main.cf ?

Hi. This is my config:

 


myhostname = centreon-central
relayhost = [10.1.0.61]:25
smtp_use_tls = no
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
#smtp_tls_CAfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
smtp_sasl_security_options = anonymous
smtp_sasl_tls_security_options = anonymous

Hello, you must check the mail log with this : tail -f /var/log/maillog

 

And check if your postfix is on : systemctl status postfix
