Send e-mail notification from linux machine with the metrics disk ,memory and CPU utilization.

Question

Hi,

I'm working on one scenario in which I want to send a metrics such as (disk utilization, CPU utilization and memory utilazition) through e-mail from linux machine.

I have used the below shell script:

scpu=$(cat /proc/stat | awk '/cpu/{printf("%.2f%\n"), ($2+$4)*100/($2+$4+$5)}' | awk '{print $0}' | head -1)
smem=$(free | awk '/Mem/{printf("%.2f%"), $3/$2*100}')
sswap=$(free | awk '/Swap/{printf("%.2f%"), $3/$2*100}')
t=$(date)
echo "$(hostname -f), $scpu, $smem, $sswap, $t" >> /tmp/cpu-mem-swap.csv | mail -s "Metrics" yourmailid.domain.com

I've exceuted this script but getting the correct metrics but unable to send an email.

Please anklowedge me with your inputs.

Regards,
Ashima
