Active monitoring and agents?

[Skyline643]

First of all, I would like to mention how great MeshCentral is! I use it for 3 years now, did some tweaks for the new icons, add MFA etc.

I know MeshCentral is more an alternative to Teamviewer or Anydesk (and way better). There's a 7 day monitoring but no active monitoring). Is there a way to get a message (by mail) when a device is down? When you add users, you need to add an e-mail address as well, but it's just adding. The mail address is not used for anything I think (maybe in the background or for MFA)?

Is there a possibility to expand the offline/online calender from 7 days to 14 days or 1 month?

We use it to monitor devices over the internet. The agent runs on Ubuntu/Windows devices and connects to a DNS address. Maybe an idea (but als complicated I think) to add sub-devices on th other side. So the agent is looking or monitoring other devices like a switch or something (just a ping to an IP would be great). Like a treaa you can expand and see which devices are under the "main" device.

I'm just thinking about some things that would be very useful in our case.

Each user needs an email address adding as well as smtp setup on meshcentral

Then each user display selects which devices they want notification and they get the emails :)

Ok thanks. I found how to setup mailing in the config.json. Users have already an e-mail address.

But I don't know exactly what lines I need to add in the config file, because we use MFA on Office 365. Can I add a token or how does the config look (especially the part for MFA)?

erm to use office 365 with MFA, i believe u need to check in your portal u have SMTP enabled for your org
then u need to create an APP PASSWORD for the user you want to use to send the emails
