HI Friends,
I am using below command to check the email alerts but its throwing error and not able to send emails. Can you please help here
Command: index=123 info | sendemail to="kumar@xxx.com" subject=AzureTestAlert from="splunk"
Error on UI: command="sendemail", [Errno -2] Name or service not known while sending mail to: kumar@xxx.com
Error in python.log:
2020-09-03 17:25:24,113 -0700 ERROR sendemail:143 - Sending email. subject="Splunk Alert: testAlert", results_link="https://splunk-shc-splunk-search-head-0:8000/app/search/@go?sid=scheduler__admin__search__testAlert_at_1599179100_51_CC555C75-B9DE-43D9-93D3-D1C60A6059CF", recipients="[u'kumar@xxx.com']", server="localhost"
First time, this is new Splunk cluster setup on AKS using Splunk Operator
Ok. Then the configuration is quite probably somehow broken.
Basically you should define the next to alert_actions.conf:
[default]
hostname = https://YOUR.SPLUNK.URL:PORT
mailserver = YOUR.MAIL.SERVER:PORT
use_ssl = 0
use_tls = 0
from = splunk@YOUR.MAIL.DOMAIN
Use_ssl & use_tls based on what your mail server is needing and also password for that user if needed.
