Re: [monit] problem sending alerting message from monit

[Martin Pala]

As mentioned, check Monit logs (set by "set logfile ..." statement to either regular file or syslog). If mailserver failed, you'll see error message from Monit here (and event will be retried next cycle when eventqueue is enabled).

You can enable verbose mode for Monit (-v option) so you can see that message was accepted by mailserver (not errors only).

If mailserver accepted the message but it wasn't delivered, it is possible that your mailserver dropped the message for some reason ... you'll need to check mailserver's logs then.

Thank you very much.

I have set an event queue in the monit control file.
However, I still cannot get the SMS messages sent to my phone when the error occurs.

Is it probably due to the mail server problem?
Currently, I send email from monit to clickatell. Then clickatell helps to convert email to SMS and send to my phone.

Is it probably due to problem at clickatell side such that I should contact clickatell instead ??

Thank you very much

You can check Monit logs ... if mailserver which is used for message delivery failed, you will find error in log.

You can also set event queue which can save event for delivery retry => will solve temporary errors.

You can also set check which will watch availability of the mailserver which you use for Monit.

Excuse me, I have tried to use monit to send alerting email

The email that I send to is a "email to SMS" gateway that will convert the email into SMS and then send to phone.

However, I find out that sometimes I cannot receive SMS when resource limit is reached..

THe following is the setting I used


set alert address@hidden on {resource, action} with mail-format {
   from: address@hidden
   subject:
   #$SERVICE $EVENT at $DATE
   message: user:xxxx
            password:xxxx
            api_id:xxxx
            to:xxxx
            text: Monit $ACTION $SERVICE at $DATE on $HOST: $DESCRIPTION.
}


May I ask if problem sometimes exist when I use "email to SMS" gateway? 
Is it the problem probably related to the clickatell that I use? or is it related to monit?

Please ask me if you need more information

Thanks
