Testing splunk monitoring, alerts, notifications before purchase. Looking for a tool to monitor a large hosting facility. Monitoring vSphere 5, virtual machines, switches, routers, physical boxes to start with.
Running Splunk 4.2.5, using Zimbra email server. I'm able to use vCenter to send alerts, use the Basebaord Management Console on the ESX servers to send alerts no problem. I created an account splunk.events on the Zimbra server. Can log into Zimbra as splunk.events and send email. However, splunk is failing to send alert emails? The log /opt/splunk/var/log/splunk has the following error "ERROR SMTP AUTH EXTENSION NOT SUPPORTED BY SERVER WHILE SENDING TO". I can't figure out why it's failing on SMTP when my other systems are able to send alerts?
Thanks
