Hi all
i think this is supposed to be possible to get an email on a filter of a log file. I did see the video 
https://www.logviewplus.com/docs/event_notifications.html
but i cannot really see how do you monitor a real time log (continuously chaging) . I set directly monitor,

but on the upper part, when i set a filter, it put it on a specific file.
Any help will be much appreciated

Hi Micha,

When you test your SMTP connection you should get a message back saying "A test notification email has been sent."  There is currently a bug in LogViewPlus where an error message may be displayed before this message.  

If you see an error message - the message was NOT sent and we need to address the error message.  If you do NOT see an error message, then LogViewPlus successfully sent the message.  From there, it is your provider's responsibility to deliver it.  

We have fixed this bug for the next release.  In the next release, if an error message is shown then the "success" message will not be shown.

As to why your provider is not delivering messages, it is difficult to say.  What I do know is that sending email is surprisingly "fuzzy" these days.  Spam has become such a problem that a lot of services actively try to stop receiving email from free accounts.  It might be worth contracting SendGrid or subscribing to a paid account.

Hope that helps,

Toby

Hi Toby
Hmm. One sec. We do have the 'amail have been sent' but we have the error before, so thats ok ?

The error message means the mail was not sent.

What settings are you using to connect to SendGrid?  What is the error message?

>> Hi
In fact we try all options (like shown below)
SSL checked
smtp.gmail.com
WITH ports 465 - error - then email was sent - but no mail
but.. hurray - now with 587 port it works !

sage?

Glad to hear you got it working.  :-)  Not sure why the port change was necessary - must have something to do with your service provider.

Thanks for letting me know,

Toby
