Howto get Hobbit to send email
Hey,
I have being using Hobbit for a while.
But now I want it to be able to send email notifications, but I can't get it to work.
I have installet postfix on my server (Ubuntu) and set it up to relay to our main mailserver. I kan send mail from it with mutt.
I have tryed to set at alert up in hobbit-alerts.cfg. And I can see that it is "sending a email.." in the /var/log/hobbit/notifications.log. But I can also se in /var/log/syslog that it is not sending anything to my main email server. As it do if I send with Mutt.
Please help me...
Best regards,
Kim Johansen Beredskabsstyrelsen
What is the message in syslog? Does postfix maintain a separate log file as well? If so, what is in it?

It tries to send an e-mail to "klj at brs.dk". And you have a typo on line 121 of your hobbit-alerts.cfg - it should probably be "REPEAT=1m" instead of "REPEAR=1m" (T instead of R).
Do us a favour and run bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test Server disk and look for the line that says Mail alert with command 'mail -s "Hobbit [12345] Server:disk CRITICAL (RED)" klj at brs.dk'
That's the exact command Hobbit uses to send the alert. Check that it works; some systems need to have MAILCMD set to "mailx" instead of "mail" (the default) in hobbitserver.cfg.
