To Add a New Email Server to Qumulo Alerts
Run the ./alerts email_server_add command and specify the sender’s email address, recipient’s email address, email server hostname and port, language, and time zone. For example:
./alerts email_server_add \
--from-addr alerts@example.com \
--to-addr name@example.com \
--server mail.example.com \
--port 25
--language en_US
--timezone "America/Los_Angeles"
Note
- The
--login,--password, and--securityflags might be optional, depending on the type of SMTP email server that you use. - For the
--languageflag, see What Language Locales Qumulo Alerts Supports. The consumer processes for email, IFTTT, and SMS (ClickSend) integrations translate messages into the recipient's native language. - For the
--timezoneflag, see Converting Time Zones.
The following is example output.
[{
"from_address": "alerts@example.com",
"language": "en_US",
"login": null,
"password": null,
"port": 25,
"security": null,
"server": "mail.example.com",
"timezone": "America/Los_Angeles",
"to_address": "name@example.com"
}]
To Test Integration with Your Email Server
Run the ./alerts email_server_test command.
A successful response returns the [{ "ok": true }] JSON output.
