You would need to setup a log4j SMTPAppender. You can find numerous examples on line. -- Ivan On Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 8:38 PM, rene z [codingisfun@gmail.com](mailto:codingisfun@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi, > I would like to receive an email when my cluster logs an error. > How do I configure the logging.yml? > > Bye, > René > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/groups/opt\_out](https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Weel, I tried but could not figure out exactly how to configure a SMTPAppender. My thoughts are not everything is implemented in ES to support the SMTPAppender, Maybe someone can help me out?

I haven't set up SMTP logs but have set up sentry loggers with success (which in turn does email alerts etc.) Something like: rootLogger: INFO, console, file, sentry appender: sentry: type: net.kencochrane.sentry.SentryAppender sentry\_dsn: "\" threshold: ERROR Of course, you may not be interested in using sentry, but don't see why SMTPAppender wouldn't work equally as well.

This is how I setup the configuration, but still no succes: rootLogger: ..., email appender: email: type: smtp smtpHost: [smtp.example.net](http://smtp.example.net) from: [host@example.net](mailto:host@example.net) to: [admin@example.net](mailto:admin@example.net) subject: Error [example.net](http://example.net) layout: type: pattern conversionPattern: ..... I tried different combinations like "host:" instead of "smtpHost", and "type: org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender" instead of "type: smtp". Who can help me with a working configuration?
