Smokeping_probes_SendEmail(3) SmokePing Smokeping_probes_SendEmail(3) NAME Smokeping::probes::SendEmail - a Smokeping probe that measure time needed to send an mail SYNOPSIS *** Probes *** +SendEmail bodysize = 1024 forks = 5 from = test@test.com # mandatory offset = 50% step = 300 subject = Test Smokeping timeout = 15 to = test@test.com # mandatory # The following variables can be overridden in each target section /^influx_.+/ = influx_location = In the basement pings = 5 port = 25 # [...] *** Targets *** probe = SendEmail # if this should be the default probe # [...] + mytarget # probe = SendEmail # if the default probe is something else host = my.host /^influx_.+/ = influx_location = In the basement pings = 5 port = 25 DESCRIPTION This probe actually send a mail to a MX server and measure time it took. You can choose the sender and recipient address as well as the size of the mail. VARIABLES Supported probe-specific variables: bodysize Size of the mail to send in bytes. If set to 0, a default mail content will be set. Note that mail always contain From, To and Subject headers. Example value: 1024 Default value: 0 forks Run this many concurrent processes at maximum Example value: 5 Default value: 5 from Mail from address Example value: test@test.com This setting is mandatory. offset If you run many probes concurrently you may want to prevent them from hitting your network all at the same time. Using the probe- specific offset parameter you can change the point in time when each probe will be run. Offset is specified in % of total interval, or alternatively as 'random', and the offset from the 'General' section is used if nothing is specified here. Note that this does NOT influence the rrds itself, it is just a matter of when data acquisition is initiated. (This variable is only applicable if the variable 'concurrentprobes' is set in the 'General' section.) Example value: 50% step Duration of the base interval that this probe should use, if different from the one specified in the 'Database' section. Note that the step in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally generated, and if you change the step parameter afterwards, you'll have to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them. (This variable is only applicable if the variable 'concurrentprobes' is set in the 'General' section.) Example value: 300 subject Subject of the mail Example value: Test Smokeping Default value: Test timeout How long a single 'ping' takes at maximum Example value: 15 Default value: 5 to Rcpt to address Example value: test@test.com This setting is mandatory. Supported target-specific variables: /^influx_.+/ This is a tag that will be sent to influxdb and has no impact on the probe measurement. The tag name will be sent without the "influx_" prefix, which will be replaced with "tag_" instead. Tags can be used for filtering. Example value: influx_location = In the basement pings How many pings should be sent to each target, if different from the global value specified in the Database section. Note that the number of pings in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally generated, and if you change this parameter afterwards, you'll have to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them. Example value: 5 port Port of the SMTP server to reach Example value: 25 Default value: 25 AUTHORS Florian Coulmier , SEE ALSO smokeping_extend 2.8.2 2022-05-08 Smokeping_probes_SendEmail(3)
