Re: no email on resource limit passed

[abdoul]

Hi 

I tried the following : 
if memory usage > 75% then exec "/home/nextone/sendEmail.sh memory_usage>75%"

but im receiving Monit email alert + root sendEmail alert + passed alert ...  any chance to disable monit's alerts at all? or shall i just disable the : set alert 
address@hidden in /etc/monit.conf ?


ps: i know it's out of this ML subject but is there anyway to set the FROM email address, if im sending an email from a script using the "mail" command,  to something specific like  
address@hidden - right now it's from: root <address@hidden>
 i've created a .mailrc and entered : set from="
address@hidden" but no chance to have it working.

any help will be much appreciated.

thanks
ab

There is no support for just failure e-mails in monit currently ... i
think you can use the monit's 'exec' action.

This way you can start simple script which will send you the message
just on failure.

Example:

--8<--
  check device rootfs with path /
   if space usage > 90% then exec "/send/me/alert.sh"
--8<--
