Create the Alert Configuration File min read

An alert configuration file must be created to specify where your SMTP server resides. Here is the template of the alertconfig.yaml file:

email:
  receivers:
    - receiver@example.com
  sender: sender@example.com
  server:
    host: smtp.example.com
    port: 25
    username:
    password:

Modify this file by:

1. Updating the host field to reflect the host of the SMTP server.

2. Updating the port to reflect the port that your SMTP server is listening on. This port must be open and available.

3. Updating senders and receivers details to reflect where the email will be sent to and received from.

4. Updating the username and password if needed.

The following example file shows a configuration of an SMTP server running on an EC2 instance, sending an email to a singlestore.user Gmail user. You may add multiple recipients to the receiver list.

email:
  receivers:
    - singlestore.user@gmail.com
  sender: ec2-user@ip-172-31-77-34.ec2.internal
  server:
    host: ip-172-30-77-34.ec2.internal
    port: 25
    username: 
    password:
