I want to send email in alert. I want to use this in my company where I can send emails within my company only. We are using outlook for mailing. How I use my outlook credential or windows credential to send email. I am new in splunk so please help me from basics. Thanks
Within your own network you can typically send emails without authentication through SMTP. Your Exchange server likely offers that, talk to your Exchange admin to find out its address. You then enter that as the mail server in the Splunk configuration and are good to go for internal emails.
there are options available in splunk to use accounts which has authentication process. Intranet servers AD accounts are more often authenticated to access the smtp servers with out any issue/ special authentication. Then like Martin suggested it depends on your environment.
That's usually the case for sending internal-only email, yeah. However, your specific environment may differ... your Exchange admin should know if sending internal-only email without authentication works.
So in System Settings->Email setting Only I need to enter Mail host which is provided by admin. No need to enter username,password in that configuration and other fields?
