I'm working on the gold cert practice test, and I'm trying to test my alarm pipeline. I have my actual email in an operator role and an admin role. This pipeline should be actually sending me emails right? I have it set up to be the active pipeline in my pump alarms too
Why am I not getting emails?
From the screenshots, whenever the alarm goes active I would expect the "Operators" roster to receive an attempt at notification via the "Email" profile.
Do you have the Notification Blocks set to test mode true? I would avoid dealing with real SMTP emails unless you are 100% that the SMTP connection is working and won't cause issues. Test mode prints out to the Gateway Webpage > Status > Logs page.
Make a simpler alarm (ie Boolean), and a simpler pipeline (no expression) with test mode if it still seems to be an issue.
I can see the alarms in the active pipelines in the alarm pipeline view. I wish I could set it up to actually email me, but they do seem to be executing.
If you don't have an SMTP server available , this is a tool we use in class to simulate the SMTP server end of notification examples:
It works when installed on the server along with an Ignition Email Notification profile, with host "localhost" port "25" to use Papercut.
