# Email Monitoring Quick Start
Get email notifications for errors and daily reports in 5 minutes.
## 1. Configure SMTP Settings
Edit `config/config.yaml` and add:
```yaml
email:
smtp:
host: "smtp.gmail.com"
port: 587
username: !secret EMAIL_USERNAME
password: !secret EMAIL_PASSWORD
use_tls: true
from_address: "noreply@yourdomain.com"
from_name: "AlpineBits Monitor"
```
## 2. Set Environment Variables
In the secrets.yaml file add the secrets
```yaml
EMAIL_USERNAME: "your_email_username"
EMAIL_PASSWORD: "your_email_password"
```
> **Note:** For Gmail, use an [App Password](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833), not your regular password.
## 3. Enable Error Alerts
In `config/config.yaml`:
```yaml
email:
monitoring:
error_alerts:
enabled: true
recipients:
- "alerts@yourdomain.com"
error_threshold: 5
buffer_minutes: 15
cooldown_minutes: 15
```
**How it works:**
- Sends immediate alert after 5 errors
- Otherwise sends after 15 minutes
- Waits 15 minutes between alerts (cooldown)
## 4. Enable Daily Reports (Optional)
In `config/config.yaml`:
```yaml
email:
monitoring:
daily_report:
enabled: true
recipients:
- "admin@yourdomain.com"
send_time: "08:00"
include_stats: true
include_errors: true
```
## 5. Test Your Configuration
Run the test script:
```bash
uv run python examples/test_email_monitoring.py
```
This will:
- ✅ Send a test email
- ✅ Trigger an error alert
- ✅ Send a test daily report
## What You Get
### Error Alert Email
When errors occur, you'll receive:
```
🚨 AlpineBits Error Alert: 5 errors (threshold exceeded)
Error Count: 5
Time Range: 14:25:00 to 14:30:00
Errors:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
[2025-10-15 14:25:12] ERROR: Database connection timeout
Module: db:245
[2025-10-15 14:26:34] ERROR: Failed to process reservation
Module: api:567
Exception: ValueError: Invalid hotel code
```
### Daily Report Email
Every day at 8 AM, you'll receive:
```
📊 AlpineBits Daily Report - 2025-10-15
Statistics:
total_reservations: 42
new_customers: 15
active_hotels: 4
Errors (3):
[08:15:23] ERROR: Connection timeout
[12:45:10] ERROR: Invalid form data
[18:30:00] CRITICAL: Database unavailable
```
## Troubleshooting
### No emails received?
1. Check your SMTP credentials:
```bash
echo $EMAIL_USERNAME
echo $EMAIL_PASSWORD
```
2. Check application logs for errors:
```bash
tail -f alpinebits.log | grep -i email
```
3. Test SMTP connection manually:
```bash
uv run python -c "
import smtplib
with smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587) as smtp:
smtp.starttls()
smtp.login('$EMAIL_USERNAME', '$EMAIL_PASSWORD')
print('✅ SMTP connection successful')
"
```
### Gmail authentication failed?
- Enable 2-factor authentication on your Google account
- Generate an App Password at https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords
- Use the App Password (not your regular password)
### Too many emails?
- Increase `error_threshold` to only alert on serious issues
- Increase `buffer_minutes` to batch more errors together
- Increase `cooldown_minutes` to reduce alert frequency
## Next Steps

- Configure custom statistics for daily reports
- Set up multiple recipient groups
- Integrate with Slack or PagerDuty (coming soon)
