    Can someone confirm the exact format of action.email() command.
    I see it is not taking up the html template for notifying the email but some report.txt file
    and the message details also are not populating.

    This is my script for emailing from an alarm triggered lua script

    I notice it doesn't use the html template either so I will try to investigate

    But is does produce a message contents

     

    a = alarm.get()

    if a ~= nil then

    otime = timestamp.format (a.nimts,"%d/%m/%Y-%H:%M:%S")

    atime = timestamp.format (a.arrival,"%d/%m/%Y-%H:%M:%S")

    recipient = "xxxxx@ca.com"

    subject = a.severity.." Alarm for host "..a.hostname.." at "..otime

     

    buff = "The following alarm was recieved at "..atime.." from host "..a.hostname.." originating at "..otime..".\n"

    buff = buff..a.message

     

         action.email (recipient,subject,buff)

     

    end

    Thanks for inputs Rowan,
    I figured that out and now I can see emails but as plain-text only.
    But, would definitely like to test the possibility of it using the html template.

    Just force the body to be html. I use something like:

     

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta name="generator" content="HTML Tidy for HTML5 for Linux version 5.2.0">
    <meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=utf-8'>
    <title>Title stuff</title>

    <style type="text/css">
    td.c1 {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; font-size: 26px}
    </style>
    </head>

    <body>

    this will be HTML

    </body>

    </html>

     

    And then depending on the email client, the content will be rendered appropriately.
