I have set up email authentication and SMTP using Amazon SES.
The test email was successful. I configured the mail server by entering the SMTP ID and password.
I created a simple alert, configured it to trigger in real-time, and set it to send an email.
However, the alert is not being generated, and the alert email is not being sent.
Is there a way to configure Amazon SES SMTP with Splunk Enterprise's mail server and alert settings to ensure the emails are sent? Thank you!
It seems that your alert job is successfully running. When you say "the test email was successful", do you mean a test email from Splunk or from a different interface?
If it was not Splunk that sent the test email, could you test it with a search like this? It should either send you a simple test email or give you errors indicating what is going wrong:
