Hello, i have this issue for a while now (months), for any alert at any time, i will tell “random” since i cannot pinpoint the cause, i have an error and the mail for the alert isn’t sent. Curiously, the recovery mail is always sent. The error is flawed, since i can always reach the SMTP server
So regulary, i only have recovery mail for a device and the alert linked…
I decided to fully reinstall LNMS from scratch on another physical site with another independant SMTP server, and i discovered the same error… I don’t know if it’s linked, but i use two pollers with the master LNMS.
I searched for errors or logs in GUI and CLI, but no luck to find an interesting log.
I found a lots of posts with similar subjects, but never with a fix excepted “it’s now patched”. But i have the problem for about 4 monts now, and i just created a full new LNMS with the same problem, i don’t have the impression to have done any specific configuration..
Could someone help me on finding the source of the probleme so i could fix it ?
Thanks in advance for any advices !!
