monitor on 16.7

[Julien]

Hi Guys,
is it possible to configure the FW to send out a email in case of " reboot, WAN is down.... )
i see this option already exist on the notification, but somehow the emails are not sending out.
thank you

So, you're basically asking for something that already exists but you can't get it to work?

It sounds like this is not specific to 16.7... do you receive notifications in general or are there *no* emails whatsoever?

[Julien]

yes i receive notification, when i press send test notification.
but whenever the firewall goes down, or rebooted it doesn't send a notification

Jamerson,

Do you have two WAN (internet) links? If not then I don't think you will receive any notification as there is no internet connection when WAN link is down. I also have notification enabled and have DDNS configure and I get dynamic ip from my ISP and I get DDNS update notification whenever I get a new IP.

Thank you,
Regards,
Bobby Thomas

thank you for your answer.
i tried and removed the WAN cable to see if it will send out email, but it didn't

You haven't really described your configuration as asked in the previous post by bobbythomas, it would help a lot if you gave a clear description of your set-up.

Hi Phoenix,
Notification configuration is stright forward,
on the notification bar there is nothing else to enable or to configure.
am i missing some steps hier ?

Do you have Multi-WAN? If not, and your servers lie outside of your LAN the notification cannot possibly reach the server as your link is down...

thank you Frank,
as i understand the notifications will works, only if there are two WANS ?
yes my VM has two WAN'S
is there somewhere i can select what kind of notifications to send ? like DHCP, new DHCP, Down WAN,..... ?

Hi Jamerson,

OK, same here. I want to post it to german threats, but you were faster ;-)

A couple of weeks i found this from January:
<https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=1990.msg6242#msg6242>

Hmm.

Test mails works fine, but these needs a little bit more content.
btw. I tried 3 mailproviders, but only TLS on 25 works.

Hi Jamerson,

Can you replace the smtp.domain.com FQDN with the internal IP for your internal mail server?

As Bobby Thomas mentioned, you may not receive notification if your mail path depends on the firewall for its internet connection.

If you don't have an internal mail server, you may need to spin up a simple postfix MTA that stores the notification email and forwards it once the connection is back up. You can tune minimal/maximal backoff time parameters to get it to retry soon after the reboot.

Hi Bart,
thank you for your answer.
we don't have a internal mail server, we send with the ISP smarthost.
is it possible to send the warning after the firewall is back ? send the warning after the firewall reach the internet ?
would love to have this configured.
