Hi,
i have an issue regarding email notification in case of primary ISP went up/down.
I recieve email notification without any issue when enabling or disabling netwatch script.
But when i simulate ISP failover inside firewall by dropping ICMP 8.8.8.8 and internet is moving to secondary ISP (which works fine) i didn't receive email notification. In the logging i see message: Error sending e-mail <ISP OPTICAL UP>: timeout occured.
Maybe it's a transition issue because in that period when he wants to send the mail the ISP is switching and internet isn't avaiable? Is there any option to add a delay for sending the email?
Thanks!
Re: Netwatch ISP failover email notification
It may indeed be pure logic.
If you want to have a delay:
hard coded
Nicer (concept):
- wait until a certain URL can be resolved (with timeout to avoid infinite wait)
- then send the mail
I don't have any examples at hand but there should be some floating around if you search a bit.

Re: Netwatch ISP failover email notification
Thanks for your reply. I have tried to add the delay command but it doesn't work (no email had been send).
Code: Select all
tool e-mail send from="info@xxx-xxx.com" server=xxx.xxx.de user=info@xxx-xxx.com password=xxx subject="ISP OPTICAL UP" body="ISP OPTICAL is up on $[/system clock get time]" to="xxx.xxx@googlemail.com":delay <20>
ip route enable [find dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=pppoe-out]
:log warning "ISP OPTICAL is up"Re: Netwatch ISP failover email notification [SOLVED]
Delay needs to be added BEFORE tool email ...
First wait. Then send.
And simply
:delay 20
No brackets needed.
