The workaround could be to use a scripted alert where inside your script you can configure smtp auth.</P> <P>2-When Splunk is indexing, the data moves through a series of stages and you have info about backup strategy here <A href="http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/latest/Admin/BackupIndexedData" rel="nofollow">http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/latest/Admin/BackupIndexedData</A> and about indexes partition <A href="http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/latest/Admin/HowSplunkstoresindexes" rel="nofollow">http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/latest/Admin/HowSplunkstoresindexes</A></P> <P>hope this help</P> Mon, 20 Dec 2010 16:35:51 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/SMTP-authentication-and-SPLUNK-database-separate/m-p/106807#M183268 MarioM 2010-12-20T16:35:51Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/SMTP-authentication-and-SPLUNK-database-separate/m-p/106808#M183269 <P>Hi, about the SMTP auth, your meaning is to edit file alert_actions.conf. And which field has to edit for the auth. Is there any examples for me to do this?</P> <P>Thanks!</P> Mon, 20 Dec 2010 17:12:04 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/SMTP-authentication-and-SPLUNK-database-separate/m-p/106808#M183269 wingyip 2010-12-20T17:12:04Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/SMTP-authentication-and-SPLUNK-database-separate/m-p/106809#M183270 <P>no not the alert_actions.conf but your own script</P> Mon, 20 Dec 2010 21:29:56 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/SMTP-authentication-and-SPLUNK-database-separate/m-p/106809#M183270 MarioM 2010-12-20T21:29:56Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/SMTP-authentication-and-SPLUNK-database-separate/m-p/106810#M183271 <P>Or you could try as explained here:<A href="http://answers.splunk.com/questions/1017/how-to-use-smtp-auth-for-action-email-mailserver-emails">http://answers.splunk.com/questions/1017/how-to-use-smtp-auth-for-action-email-mailserver-emails</A></P> Mon, 20 Dec 2010 21:33:33 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/SMTP-authentication-and-SPLUNK-database-separate/m-p/106810#M183271 MarioM 2010-12-20T21:33:33Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/SMTP-authentication-and-SPLUNK-database-separate/m-p/106811#M183272 <P>Or you could try as explained here: </P> <P><A href="http://answers.splunk.com/questions/1017/how-to-use-smtp-auth-for-action-email-mailserver-emails" rel="nofollow">http://answers.splunk.com/questions/1017/how-to-use-smtp-auth-for-action-email-mailserver-emails</A></P> Mon, 20 Dec 2010 21:37:12 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/SMTP-authentication-and-SPLUNK-database-separate/m-p/106811#M183272 MarioM 2010-12-20T21:37:12Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/SMTP-authentication-and-SPLUNK-database-separate/m-p/106812#M183273 <P>Do you have release day of the 4.2 version ?</P> Tue, 21 Dec 2010 10:30:16 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/SMTP-authentication-and-SPLUNK-database-separate/m-p/106812#M183273 wingyip 2010-12-21T10:30:16Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/SMTP-authentication-and-SPLUNK-database-separate/m-p/106813#M183274 <P>no i donot know the release day of 4.2</P> Tue, 21 Dec 2010 21:00:59 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/SMTP-authentication-and-SPLUNK-database-separate/m-p/106813#M183274 MarioM 2010-12-21T21:00:59Z
