Hello everyone,
I have been setting up Icinga2 from scratch for the last weeks for the first time.
Currently i am facing an issue with mail notifications.
The mail function worked for me without any problem, when i tried them in the /conf.d directory, befor making icinga to master node
Since i changed my icinga2 to a master node and used the /zones.d directory with different file and folder structure i cannot sent mails without them being forced.
I particularly have that problem by trying to send custom mail. i can only send them when being forced, i do receive automatic mail warnings from my agent.
if anyone, would have an advice on what needs to be changed or added that would be great!
here are the icinga2 version infos:
icinga2 --version
