How to figure this out? Thanks a lot!

cacti 1.1.19
thold 1.0.3

Did you go into Settings >> Alerting / Thold and configure a Sender? There are also a few places to configure under Settings >> Mail/Reporting/DNS

I've set up both places, but I still can't send alarm mail.

Do you see any entries in the cacti log as to why? If there are missing details, you should see a reason there. Otherwise, are you sure its being triggered?

Sorry for dredging up a semi-old problem, but I did not see an answer and am experiencing the same problem. I am running Cacti 1.2.8 on CentOS. This is a just updated install. I am running thold 1.3.2. In both the main settings as well as the thold settings, the from address is set correctly and is identical to each other. When I send a test email, it sends correctly, however, if I look under clog, it says:

2020/01/03 12:10:32 - THOLD ERROR: Sending Email Failed. Error was Invalid address: (From): Cacti@localhost

So from what I can tell, it seems that thold_functions.php is not pulling the $from_email, but that doesn't make sense as I would think a lot of people would be having issues. Any suggestions?

Relevant code is at
https://github.com/Cacti/plugin_thold/b ... .php#L5266

If it as passed a $from_email (We generally don't pass one) to the function, it will use it.

Code: Select all

function thold_mail($to_email, $from_email, $subject, $message, $filename, $headers = array()) {

If not, it will check the thold setting.

Code: Select all

		$from_email = read_config_option('thold_from_email');

If the thold setting is blank, then it tries to figure out the server name and if it not, it just appends localhost

Code: Select all

			if (isset($_SERVER['HOSTNAME'])) {
				$from_email = 'Cacti@' . $_SERVER['HOSTNAME'];
			} else {
				$from_email = 'Cacti@localhost';
			}

So long story short, make sure the "Settings >> Alerting/Thold >> From Email Address" is set

Yes, that's what is strange about this. My thold from email address is set the same as the global one. Test emails from the global setting page work, but thold seems to think that the from email address is blank then?

Ya, I would double check the mysql table "settings" first to verify it actually is set in there.

Did you also click Save on the Thold Settings page? As the value it shows actually defaults to what is set for "settings_from_email". If you don't click Save on it, then it never actually sets that though, and thold doesn't use it.

Thank you! I believe it was my settings table that was messed up when I upgraded (or tried) to update everything. Just got a thold email.
