alert - can I sent email from specific email address only for specific alert

[net1993]

Hello
I know I can set from email address in alert_actions.conf with attribute: from = "some@email" but this is global setting which will make that src. email for all emails sent out. Is it possible that I set the specific email address but only for specific alert?

Hello @net1993,

I don't think that is possible, as alert_actions.conf has only one property for from element. One thing that you can try is as below. I'm sure if that is feasible in your case.
Create separate Apps for those you need separate from email address, put alert actions in those with different configuration and keep it to "App only privileged" from meta file.

Hi. I need field "From:" not "To:"

Yes I was considering that option as well but I was wondering if there is easier way:).
Anyway, thank you. I accept this answer because I think it will work.

Nice to here that you already have this in mind. If you have some limited number of "From" emails you can do this. I've updated my answer for future user's reference. Please accept it.
Thanks!!!

Please try sendemail command.

If I try to put email sending settings in the search, then I cannot control the alert threshold so I cannot see that this is an option.
