Mail¶

Robusta can report issues and events in your Kubernetes cluster by sending emails.

Connecting the mail sink¶

To set up the mail sink, you need access to an SMTP server. You should also set the sender and receiver(s) addresses.

Robusta uses Apprise library under the hood for running mail notifications. You can configure the "mailto" field described below using the convenient and sophisticated syntax provided by Apprise. For more details see here.

Configuring the mail sink¶

Add this to your generated_values.yaml

sinksConfig:
- mail_sink:
    name: mail_sink
    mailto: "mailtos://user:password@server&from=a@x&to=b@y,c@z"
    with_header: false  # optional

The default value of the optional with_header parameter is true. If set to false, mails sent by this sink will not include header information, such as the finding header, investigate button and the source of the notification.

Note

We highly recommend using the quotes around "mailto" to ensure special characters are handled correctly.

Then do a Helm Upgrade.
