WEBVTT 00:00.090 --> 00:00.260 Okay. 00:00.320 --> 00:07.290 Many systems will allow you to send emails from them in case of problems or other alerts you might want 00:07.290 --> 00:11.310 to set up, such as Loki and Prometheus have a way to send alerts. 00:11.310 --> 00:14.430 So as in flux tbh, so does my school. 00:14.490 --> 00:18.540 Xbox has a sophisticated alerting system and so does Elasticsearch. 00:18.570 --> 00:23.580 All of these things have the option to send an email through an esim tpy server and you can also do 00:23.580 --> 00:24.450 that in rafinha. 00:24.450 --> 00:29.730 We can configure and SMTP server like Raphinha can use to send alerts so we will organize and SMTP. 00:29.730 --> 00:33.150 So now email is only one option of getting alerts from a system. 00:33.150 --> 00:37.830 You can set up other kinds of notifications such as SMS, Telegram or Slack. 00:37.830 --> 00:40.110 It doesn't matter, but email is a good start. 00:40.140 --> 00:45.360 Now before we continue, we need to make sure we're using version 8.3 or later of Gravano, since it's 00:45.360 --> 00:48.690 a new unified user interface called Unified Alerting. 00:48.690 --> 00:54.240 And if I look at this user interface here, this is the oldest call I'm using 8.2.4 at the beginning 00:54.240 --> 00:54.750 of this video. 00:54.750 --> 01:00.870 I'm going to upgrade now to the latest version, which happens to be 8.3.3, so that I get the new unified 01:00.870 --> 01:02.310 alerting user interface. 01:02.310 --> 01:02.670 Okay. 01:02.670 --> 01:09.480 So using the downloads page in Gravano, I'm downloading 833 open source version. 01:09.480 --> 01:10.830 My instructions are here. 01:10.860 --> 01:11.940 I've already done that. 01:11.940 --> 01:16.470 I now need the later 8.3.3 version of the Debian package. 01:16.470 --> 01:21.720 So I'm going to get to download it on mammography on a server right click and press enter. 01:22.560 --> 01:28.530 Okay this downloaded the 8.3.3 version and now I'm going to install it using the package manager. 01:29.310 --> 01:29.550 Okay. 01:29.550 --> 01:34.260 So that's putting 833 over 824 and restarting the profile to subnets. 01:34.260 --> 01:34.620 Okay. 01:34.680 --> 01:36.780 Let's refresh the A server. 01:36.810 --> 01:37.040 Okay. 01:37.050 --> 01:38.730 So I just refresh this page. 01:39.480 --> 01:39.870 Okay. 01:39.870 --> 01:42.780 So we have the new unified alerting interface. 01:42.780 --> 01:45.690 So it doesn't say notification channels anymore. 01:45.720 --> 01:47.040 It now says contact points. 01:47.130 --> 01:52.200 So if we look at contact points, I need to create a new contact point that can be used for sending 01:52.200 --> 01:55.440 emails so there is a default provided there. 01:55.440 --> 02:01.290 I can just edit that or delete and create a new one, but I'll just edit that and just change to email. 02:01.310 --> 02:07.590 Doesn't matter and I need a recipient and that's just going to be my email address admin at ESP code 02:07.590 --> 02:08.250 dot net. 02:08.280 --> 02:13.080 You can send it to multiple email addresses by separating with a semicolon, but I'm just going to use 02:13.080 --> 02:13.740 that now. 02:13.740 --> 02:18.720 I can't really test this just yet because I haven't set up the centerpiece settings inside the California 02:18.720 --> 02:19.560 configuration file. 02:19.560 --> 02:24.480 So just to try it, we can send a predefined test message and it says about send. 02:24.480 --> 02:27.630 We haven't figured it yet in California, so let's do that now. 02:27.780 --> 02:31.470 So on the server, I'm going to clear I'm going to go to the refiner ini file. 02:31.500 --> 02:31.770 Okay. 02:31.770 --> 02:37.890 So suddenly now it is sick or fa profanity, I'm going to press control w this is like find and I'm 02:37.890 --> 02:40.260 going to look for SMTP as SMTP. 02:40.500 --> 02:42.180 That's the SMTP settings there. 02:42.180 --> 02:46.500 Now we need to change these settings to what is applicable for you. 02:46.590 --> 02:48.840 So the first one is enabled equals true. 02:49.870 --> 02:52.380 So removing the semicolon is like commenting. 02:52.390 --> 02:56.500 Now the host is going to be different depending on where your SMTP server is located. 02:56.530 --> 03:02.050 Now if you bought your domain name from nine cheap like I showed at the beginning of the course, you 03:02.050 --> 03:07.630 can get an SMTP email service addon on for an extra $1 a month roughly. 03:07.660 --> 03:13.350 Most domain name providers will have an email add on that you can purchase. 03:13.360 --> 03:15.550 So I'm just going to show you my settings. 03:15.640 --> 03:15.890 Okay. 03:15.910 --> 03:21.120 So I'm logged into nine cheap and I'm looking at the settings for my SB code dot net mine. 03:21.160 --> 03:25.600 And if I scroll down a little bit, I've got private email add on there. 03:25.600 --> 03:29.830 So I've got one mailbox and it's in use and this is just the bare minimum. 03:29.830 --> 03:33.490 So it costs about roughly $1 a month for that. 03:33.580 --> 03:38.620 So when you go into your domain admin for whatever your domain is, you'll have that option to create 03:38.620 --> 03:39.340 a mailbox. 03:40.450 --> 03:42.580 Says an ad mailbox option just there. 03:43.000 --> 03:44.230 Okay, so I've already done that. 03:44.380 --> 03:48.940 If you didn't go to the products tab, you'll see here it says start of email and it's active. 03:48.970 --> 03:54.910 And I can log into the web mail version and also manage it like. 03:54.910 --> 04:01.870 So it's pretty much the minimum spec email service, but I can send and receive emails without any problem 04:01.870 --> 04:03.700 using this, so it's actually very good. 04:03.790 --> 04:04.090 Okay. 04:04.090 --> 04:06.150 So got five gigs of storage. 04:06.160 --> 04:08.590 It's got a spam filter if you want to use it. 04:08.770 --> 04:11.530 I don't have a dkim record credit. 04:11.530 --> 04:14.000 I don't need it and that's pretty much it. 04:14.020 --> 04:15.100 It's just the bare minimum. 04:15.100 --> 04:21.100 When you get your mailbox, you'll get a default mailbox being admin at whatever your domain was. 04:21.170 --> 04:21.940 That's my one. 04:22.000 --> 04:22.360 Okay. 04:22.360 --> 04:25.550 So I can set that up in a final now. 04:25.600 --> 04:32.440 So looking back at Crawford and my host I just happened to know for my email service is mail dot. 04:33.340 --> 04:36.010 Private email dot com. 04:36.190 --> 04:38.320 And the port is 465. 04:38.500 --> 04:43.840 You might be using a corporate Microsoft Exchange server, so you'd be typing in the address and the 04:43.840 --> 04:44.490 port for that. 04:44.500 --> 04:48.090 He may be using some other SMTP servers somewhere else. 04:48.190 --> 04:51.490 Sometimes a port might be 25 and sometimes a46, five. 04:51.550 --> 04:52.620 Anyway, that's the host. 04:52.630 --> 04:58.110 If you're using a domain from name shape like I am and you have set up the email server, it'll be mailed 04:58.120 --> 05:00.550 a private email dot com port 465. 05:00.610 --> 05:03.100 The user is your email account. 05:03.220 --> 05:07.060 So my user is admin speak code dot net. 05:07.090 --> 05:11.260 Yours will be admin at your domain if you bought it from nine cheap as well. 05:11.290 --> 05:12.990 The password among commenting. 05:13.000 --> 05:18.130 If your password contains a hash or a semicolon, you have to wrap it in triple quotes. 05:18.320 --> 05:18.560 Okay. 05:18.580 --> 05:18.940 So. 05:20.330 --> 05:23.750 Perhaps your password is something very complicated and it's like that. 05:23.750 --> 05:25.400 I'm not going to show you my real password. 05:25.410 --> 05:27.410 No update that while I'm not recording. 05:27.470 --> 05:30.860 Okay, so search file and key file, skip, verify it. 05:30.860 --> 05:32.960 These are all okay to be left as default. 05:32.960 --> 05:36.530 Now the from address will be the same address of the account that I'm using. 05:36.530 --> 05:38.810 So it's going to be admin that has become a dot net. 05:38.840 --> 05:40.160 So I'm going to delete that. 05:41.450 --> 05:47.790 At minute aspect dot net, you can usually create a different named mailbox through your email provider 05:47.800 --> 05:49.780 by creating aliases if you really wanted to. 05:49.780 --> 05:51.100 But I'm just going to keep it simple. 05:51.100 --> 05:55.240 Admin it is because I don't net that's my one my from name I'm going to leave that as default as well. 05:55.270 --> 05:58.090 Doesn't matter if that's committed or not it's going to be from name rafinha. 05:58.090 --> 06:04.750 Now the ello identity this one I normally use private email dot com private email dot com. 06:04.780 --> 06:08.920 Now CAFAGNa will make a connection to my okay property motto. 06:08.920 --> 06:10.040 Com 465. 06:10.060 --> 06:13.990 Log in as my user password and try to send an email. 06:14.020 --> 06:19.540 Now, if you're using a mobile phone through your work and you have your work email set up on your mobile 06:19.540 --> 06:24.820 phone in the default mail application, you may have some SMTP settings there that you can view in a 06:24.820 --> 06:26.450 general settings area of your phone. 06:26.470 --> 06:30.490 You can pretty much just copy what you see and then put that into these places. 06:30.490 --> 06:36.340 And also if your mail host is something like mail dot acme dot com down here for a low identity you 06:36.340 --> 06:37.690 just right acme dot com. 06:37.720 --> 06:40.160 So that's what I've done here just private email to com. 06:40.240 --> 06:41.290 Just the same as that. 06:41.410 --> 06:42.790 That seems to work okay for me. 06:42.850 --> 06:45.940 So that is enough to control x to save? 06:46.060 --> 06:46.780 Yes. 06:47.230 --> 06:51.040 And we need to restock often on restart and check a status. 06:52.500 --> 06:52.860 Okay. 06:52.860 --> 06:53.520 Very good. 06:53.640 --> 06:54.340 That's working. 06:54.360 --> 06:55.410 Now we can test it. 06:55.620 --> 07:01.470 So in the new contact points section of the alerting user interface, I can try test again. 07:01.470 --> 07:02.550 Send a notification. 07:03.150 --> 07:03.490 Okay. 07:03.540 --> 07:05.440 And test alert sent. 07:05.460 --> 07:06.900 So that works straight away for me. 07:06.930 --> 07:07.280 Okay. 07:07.290 --> 07:10.620 Also note that behind the scenes I updated my password. 07:10.620 --> 07:12.480 Artist didn't show that in this recording. 07:12.630 --> 07:18.360 So just make sure your username and your password is correct when you do your SMP settings in the graphite. 07:18.360 --> 07:18.690 Any. 07:18.780 --> 07:19.140 Okay. 07:19.140 --> 07:24.570 So now look into the web mail client that I get with that private email service and I have one like 07:24.570 --> 07:28.170 alert from provider that test I just sent called firing one tests. 07:28.200 --> 07:34.260 Look, a final is just some dummy information alert and I'm test alert and I can silence it by pressing 07:34.260 --> 07:36.460 the links there or even go to the alerts page itself. 07:36.480 --> 07:37.620 A personal link there now. 07:37.640 --> 07:40.140 Note here it says local host 3000. 07:40.170 --> 07:45.730 If you're sending emails like that, you may want to see your domain name and steps written in there. 07:45.750 --> 07:51.510 So to do that, go back into the Gryphon, any secret phonic or find any and just scroll down a little 07:51.510 --> 07:51.840 bit. 07:53.270 --> 07:59.270 Until you find the setting called roots you are all there and we can just hard code the euro all we 07:59.270 --> 07:59.790 want to see. 07:59.810 --> 08:10.300 So I'm going to say root your URL equals htp s slash bafana dot esp code dot net and then a slash like. 08:10.310 --> 08:11.970 So let's test that. 08:12.080 --> 08:13.150 Control X. 08:13.160 --> 08:13.760 Yes. 08:14.510 --> 08:19.940 And so restart instead us and good or good, let's send another test terminus. 08:19.940 --> 08:23.360 Another test from the alerting panel here to send notification. 08:24.110 --> 08:25.370 Okay, let's sent. 08:26.210 --> 08:26.600 Okay. 08:26.600 --> 08:31.070 I got a new email in my inbox that's going to have look at it and there it is. 08:31.190 --> 08:31.970 It's a similar one. 08:31.970 --> 08:32.920 Install the test alert. 08:32.930 --> 08:37.640 Now the URLs in the email, use it to be a screw finance B code dot net slash alerting. 08:37.640 --> 08:38.840 So that's correct. 08:38.840 --> 08:42.320 So I can actually just click that, have a look at it and it isn't actually real. 08:42.470 --> 08:44.060 So it's actually not showing up here or anything. 08:44.060 --> 08:45.050 But you get the point. 08:45.050 --> 08:49.540 You can just click and you can see your current issues showing up here and alert rules. 08:49.640 --> 08:53.060 Okay, so just make sure you're using version 8.3 or later. 08:53.090 --> 08:57.440 That way you'll get the unified alerting interface rather than the one that we had at the beginning 08:57.440 --> 08:57.890 of the video. 08:58.010 --> 08:58.490 Excellent. 08:58.520 --> 09:02.840 So next video will actually use this to create a real alert from the system. 09:03.110 --> 09:03.500 Excellent.
