Database Mail and email alerts with SQL Server Agent on Linux

  • บทความ

Applies to: SQL Server - Linux

This article shows how to set up Database Mail and use it with SQL Server Agent (mssql-server-agent) on Linux.

1. Enable Database Mail

USE master;
GO

sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
GO

RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE
GO

sp_configure 'Database Mail XPs', 1;
GO

RECONFIGURE;
GO

2. Create a new account

EXECUTE msdb.dbo.sysmail_add_account_sp @account_name = 'SQLAlerts',
    @description = 'Account for Automated DBA Notifications',
    @email_address = 'sqlagenttest@example.com',
    @replyto_address = 'sqlagenttest@example.com',
    @display_name = 'SQL Agent',
    @mailserver_name = 'smtp.example.com',
    @port = 587,
    @enable_ssl = 1,
    @username = 'sqlagenttest@example.com',
    @password = '<password>';
GO

3. Create a default profile

EXECUTE msdb.dbo.sysmail_add_profile_sp
    @profile_name = 'default',
    @description = 'Profile for sending Automated DBA Notifications';
GO

4. Add the Database Mail account to a Database Mail profile

EXECUTE msdb.dbo.sysmail_add_principalprofile_sp
    @profile_name = 'default',
    @principal_name = 'public',
    @is_default = 1;
GO

5. Add account to profile

EXECUTE msdb.dbo.sysmail_add_profileaccount_sp
    @profile_name = 'default',
    @account_name = 'SQLAlerts',
    @sequence_number = 1;
GO

6. Send test email

You might have to go to your email client and enable the allow less secure clients to send mail option. Not all clients recognize Database Mail as an email daemon.

EXECUTE msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
    @profile_name = 'default',
    @recipients = 'recipient-email@example.com',
    @subject = 'Testing DBMail',
    @body = 'This message is a test for DBMail'
GO

7. Set Database Mail profile using mssql-conf or environment variable

You can use the mssql-conf utility, or environment variables, to register your Database Mail profile. In this case, let's call our profile default.

  • Set via mssql-conf:

    sudo /opt/mssql/bin/mssql-conf set sqlagent.databasemailprofile default

  • Set via environment variable:

    MSSQL_AGENT_EMAIL_PROFILE=default

8. Set up an operator for SQL Server Agent job notifications

EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_operator
    @name = N'JobAdmins',
    @enabled = 1,
    @email_address = N'recipient-email@example.com',
    @category_name = N'[Uncategorized]';
GO

9. Send email when 'Agent Test Job' succeeds

EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_update_job
    @job_name = 'Agent Test Job',
    @notify_level_email = 1,
    @notify_email_operator_name = N'JobAdmins'
GO
