Reporting

Why are the reports not sending email of more than ~70 events in Suse Linux enterprise?

Reports and sendemail not sending an email of more than about 70 events - The maximum number of events varies depending of how much data per event. What I see is that sendemail.py is failing.

Sendemail in the search line is doing the same, and the error is: External search command 'sendemail' returned error code 1.

I tried to add an increase several parameters in the .conf files like indicated on the groups but it did not make a difference

Here is the splunkd.log filtered by the scheduler and sendemail events examples:
