As documented in example.scrutiny.yaml there are multiple ways to configure notifications for Scrutiny.
Under the hood we use a library called Shoutrrr to send our notifications, and you should use their documentation if you run into any issues: https://containrrr.dev/shoutrrr/services/overview/
While the Shoutrrr library supports many popular providers for sending notifications Scrutiny also supports a "script" based notification system, allowing you to execute a custom script whenever a notification needs to be sent. Data is provided to this script using the following environmental variables:
SCRUTINY_SUBJECT - eg. "Scrutiny SMART error (%s) detected on device: %s"
SCRUTINY_DATE
SCRUTINY_FAILURE_TYPE - EmailTest, SmartFail, ScrutinyFail
SCRUTINY_DEVICE_NAME - eg. /dev/sda
SCRUTINY_DEVICE_TYPE - ATA/SCSI/NVMe
SCRUTINY_DEVICE_SERIAL - eg. WDDJ324KSO
SCRUTINY_MESSAGE - eg. "Scrutiny SMART error notification for device: %s\nFailure Type: %s\nDevice Name: %s\nDevice Serial: %s\nDevice Type: %s\nDate: %s"
SCRUTINY_HOST_ID - (optional) eg. "my-custom-host-id"
Shoutrrr supports special characters in the username and password fields, however you'll need to url-encode the
username and the password separately.
- if your username is:
[email protected] - if your password is
124@34$1
Then your shoutrrr url will look something like:
smtp://myname%40example%2Ecom:124%4034%[email protected]:587
You can test that your notifications are configured correctly by posting an empty payload to the notifications health check API.
