Hi, I am working on ubuntu servers on AWS and wants to use SES functionality of AWS to send splunk email alerts, is this possible? |
|
I'd say "sure, it's possible -- if you're willing to write some code to do it". The default Splunk "send email" action uses plain old SMTP under the covers. You could modify It'll be great if you can throw some light on this as i am not familiar with python scripts.Any documentation link for this?

This really isn't in an area of publicly documented Splunk. You're changing what is basically an exposed implementation detail. If you don't know python, your job probably just got a little harder. The documentation for the sendemail command ( http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/latest/SearchReference/Sendemail ) might help you, as well as the documentation around alert_actions.conf ( http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/latest/Admin/Alertactionsconf ). There's also an article at Amazon ( http://aws.amazon.com/articles/2405502737055650 ) that provides an example of SES in python.

Amazon now offers SMTP Server with their AWS SES service. We got it working now. Here is how you do it: go to amazon and set the SMTP incl. one user up. (see Amazon doc) In Splunk: Mail host: (choose the one amazon tells you) email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com:465 Security: Enable SSL UserName: amazon crypto username Pass: abc Link hostname: your external IP of the splunkserver send emails as: the verfied Email adress That setup worked for us philippschneider's answer worked with a minor change - instead of enable SSL, I had to use Enable TLS. Mail host: email-smtp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com (no port mentioned) Enable TLS Username: SESUSERNAME Password: SESPASSWORD send email as: verified email address

Update to the answer of Philipp Schneider: The Link hostname is NOT your external IP of the splunkserver, but the internal IP! Because if you're enable the PDF Server for Linux to schedule PDF reports, you will not be able to generate PDF's with your external IP!
