I need to set up a Chronograf alert for Gmail, but I can't do it.
What I've done are the following steps:
- I created a new Alert rules
- In the Alert Handlers section I have imported "email" and insert the alert threshold value
- I went to edit configuration and set everything as shown in the picture: configuration for gmail
But when I press the "send test alert" button, no email is sent to me.
I also wrote the body of the email in the "alert rules builder" section just in case. but nothing has changed. How can I fix it?
Try using less secure apps. log into your gmail account, or https://myaccount.google.com/security
Scroll down to "less secure apps" and enable that. If i recall, gmail blocks apps it considers to be less secure. I had to set this a couple of years ago to use gmail to relay alerts.
Also, your port number is wrong it should be 465 (SSL) or 587 (TLS) gmail smtp configutation
