Notifcation issues (mail)

Post by gregszuh »

Hi ppl.

Need some support on notifications not working.
SMTP-test mail works, weekly report generation and mailing works.
No notifications are sent for any hosts going down. Has never worked.
I have tried global contact list and device specific.

Where do I look? :o

Tnx,
Greg

You have to create a systemd thold daemon service if you are using it. Otherwise, you will not get notifications. Avoid the Develop branch right now until the 1.8 or 2.0 release is tagged. We still have a few issues there.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?
