send email on keepalive events to different email addresses

Sensu Classic (EOL)
1

Hi Guys,
I am using sensu 0.22 with mailer plugin to send emails.

I want to send emails to specific users when their servers are down.

With regular checks I am using subscription to do that:

"subscriptions"      : { "subscription_name"        : { "mail_to": "teamemail@example.com"
      } }


Is there a way to that with keepalive checks? to send emails on server "A" keepalive failure to a@example.com and on keepalive failure of server "B" to b@example.com?

Thanks,

Yossi

You can set whatever you need in the keepalive section of the client
configuration:

I don’t see any option to use subscription, so I can’t use mailer handler for that.
It looks like I have to use or write new mail handler for that, am I right?

Hmm. I'm not sure what would happen if you put subscriptions in there.
Worth a try I guess?
Maybe adjust your handler to look for mail_to as a base attribute of
the check or in the subscription section.
(https://sensuapp.org/docs/latest/checks#custom-attributes\)
That way it can work with subscription based checks like you have now,
but also with standalone (and keepalive) checks.
