I have Alertmanager and Prometheus running in Openshift. Alertmanager receives and shows the alerts from Prometheus but when sending it with any smtp server (I'm using Gmail now but I tried others), I get the following error:
time="2017-05-30T08:47:21Z" level=error msg="Notify for 1 alerts failed: dial tcp 74.125.206.109:587: getsockopt: connection timed out" source="dispatch.go:261"
I have a config.yml which worked when I tried it locally with alertmanager and prometheus. I received the email alerts, so I dont get why it doesn't work when running in Openshift. I ran out of ideas.
My config file:
global:
smtp_smarthost: 'smtp.gmail.com:587'
smtp_from: '[email protected]'
smtp_auth_username: '[email protected]'
smtp_auth_password: 'ABCD1234'
templates:
- '/etc/alertmanager/template/*.tmpl'
group_by: ['alertname', 'cluster', 'service']
group_wait: 1m
group_interval: 1m
repeat_interval: 1m
receiver: team-X-mails
routes:
- match:
severity: page
receiver: team-X-mails
receivers:
- name: 'team-X-mails'
email_configs:
- to: '[email protected]'
