Hi everyone,
I am currently setting up email notifications in Checkmk using a Postfix server and also planning to integrate Splunk for log management and monitoring. I have successfully installed Docker Checkmk and tested the Postfix server to send emails, which worked fine. However, I am struggling with configuring Checkmk to send emails through Postfix and ensuring seamless integration with Splunk for log analysis.
I have installed Docker Checkmk (open port 5000). Installed and tested Postfix (emails sent successfully). Set up Splunk for log management.
Emails are not being sent from Checkmk, and I need guidance on best practices for integrating Checkmk logs into Splunk.
Configuration Details :
- Checkmk version: 2.1.0p10
- Postfix settings:
- SMTP Server: localhost
- SMTP Port: 25
- Splunk version: 8.2.5
I have Reviewed the Checkmk, Postfix, and Splunk documentation.
Configured notification rules in Checkmk under “WATO - Configuration” > “Notifications”. Set SMTP server settings in “Global Settings”. Integrated Checkmk logs into Splunk for monitoring, but need further guidance.
I received Error Message ; Email delivery failed: Connection refused
Please guide me on the exact steps to configure email notifications in Checkmk using Postfix and how to best integrate Checkmk with Splunk for comprehensive log management?
I have reviewed the Checkmk-Official-Guide-Splunk Documentation but still need some help .
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best regards,
