Allow sending emails on failure.
skx opened this issue · comments
overseer stores the results of tests in a redis-queue. From there we expect an external process to pop the notifications off and handle them.
We currently have two examples which do that; one to post to my own monitoring system purppura, and one to post to an IRC channel. It might be nice to have an example of sending emails on failure.
Email authentication will be hard, so we'll just assume we can invoke /usr/lib/sendmail
, or /usr/sbin/sendmail
as appropriate.
Need to update the bridge-documentation to include this, also note that the testing is stateless so we might have a lot of emails for a flapping service.
