pager emails not going out

Post by bbarnett »

Hi all,

I've checked the message/pager checkbox in the email section of the options, but filter doesn't try to send these emails.

I get normal alert emails fine, just not the pages. I know they're not going out, as I don't see thme in my sendmail logs (and I do see the full emails go out).

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Check the error logs?

There is really not enough info here to allow anyone to be able to help.

Regards,
Corey

There is nothing in the filter log, it just ignores the fact that this option is set...

I don't see anything in my regular syslogs either. It's as if it is completely ignoring this option...

Did you:
Check the messages log?
Check the zmdc.log?
Restart zm after checking the option?
What version of zm?
What do you have for your ZM_MESSAGE_TEXT?
Is this for a numeric or alpha-numeric pager/cellular?

Regards,
Corey

Yes, nothing out of the ordinary in any of my syslog, logs. In fact, I tail -f a few logs when I did this.

Yes, I restarted. Nothing I can see in zmdc.log. It's the Debian package 1.21.3-4.

FOr ZM_MESSAGE_TEXT, I left it at the default:

#
# This is the configuration file for notification messages
#
# The tags you can use in here are as follows
# The path tags however may be over long for a message
# destined for an SMS and will in any case probably not
# direct you to a WAP compatible page (yet).
# %ZP% - The path to your ZoneMinder console
# %MN% - The name of the monitor

body ="ZM alarm detected - %ED% secs, %EF%/%EFA% frames, t%EST%/m%ESM%/a%ESA% score"


It's a cell phone, it just takes an email. I've placed the correct address in the config (and again, I can see sendmail sending out the long email, but the shorter does not even get processed by sendmail, at all...)
