Is there a way to send CDMR emails through one DMA that can send emails?
Not currently. Each CDMR-reporting agent requires direct access to an SMTP server through which it can send outgoing e-mails.
The Skyline DataMiner/Logging/WatchDog/Reports and Notifications folders are storage only. New files will not automatically be e-mailed, so a custom solution would be required here as well.
I’m not that fond of hacky solutions like these, as they will always break at some point in the future (when internal implementation changes).
When I would activate CDMR, it’ll probably be activated on the complete system and give errors when it fails to send the email?
Activating CDMR goes agent by agent. There’s a script available to do the entire cluster in one go (https://community.dataminer.services/documentation/activate-cdmr).
When enabled on a server that cannot send e-mails, errors will be logged in SLWatchDog2.txt / SLErrors.txt whenever an attempt is made to send out such an e-mail
I also had a similar question to this one from a user today, if it would be possible to send the cdmr mails from one server (without Dataminer) because their security doesn’t like to have multiple servers with potential breaches due to the need of having to white list all the servers.
I’m just thinking out loud but would it be possible to create an automation script that copies the reports in C:Skyline DataMinerloggingWatchDogReports* to the agent that can access the SMTP server, which would then detect them automatically and send them to CDMR or will the CDMR reporting not detect these ‘copied’ files?
