It would be nice to have an email function when services or host goes down, or critical notification. Nagios has such a feacher for different levels of email notification.
tk
dude also has a e-mail funktion
somtimes it helps to r-t-f-m
Are you not meaning a esculation process… This would be good..
So i.e if nobody has responded by say 10 mins it then goes to the next level..and so on…
Also the abilty to scedule down time would be cool///
leequince was clearer than i was. I knew about the smtp email in The Dude. Sometimes it helps if I am clear in exactly what I am talking about.

You already can make delayed notifications, that will get fired specified time
after event, also you can make notifications repeated, for set amount of
times or forever until user acknowledges the outage.
Tell us if that helps.
Im trying to use e-mail notification on dude v2.0b3… I can only send e-mails from dude to other mail accounts under my domain. Should I not be able to send e-mails from dude to other domains without an authenticated account under my domain?
- There is a smtp server at xxx.xxx.xxx.4
- I can send a mail from “dude@mydomain.com.br” to “support@mydomain.com.br” ok
- I CANNOT send a mail from “dude@mydomain.com.br” to “support@mikrotik.com” (it says “timeout” here)
Why? Help? Thanks in advance
@ozelo
probably the server does not relay mail from unauthenticated accounts
I setup Dude to relay email through the local SNMP service. I enable logging and turn on all logging options. The log file tells me exactly why the email does not go through.
I found the most common reason for email not being accepted by ISP’s is that the email came from an IP address that does not match the IP address of the MX record for that domain. They do this to block some email spammers. Good luck.
