not sure how your gmail is setup, but if you have multi-factor auth on gmail, you need to make an App Password https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en further below is the mail config. NOTE: don't forget the little comma ',' after the last curly brace...it was NOT in the example doc, and I had to figure it out from error messages...just like the SMB config example is wrong too and in the smb.conf you need to have samba-audit.log path like below [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = NBDocs netbios name = SRV01 dns proxy = no log file = /var/log/samba-audit.log

 "SMTP": {
                        "class": "logging.handlers.SMTPHandler",
                        "mailhost": ["smtp.gmail.com", 587],
                        "fromaddr": "yourGmailName@gmail.com",
                        "toaddrs" : ["yourGmailName@gmail.com"],
                        "subject" : "OpenCanary Alert",
                        "credentials" : ["yourGmailName", "theCrazyAppPassword"],
                        "secure" : []
                          },

Hi @gkakar08,

The credentials for SMTP would be for the fromaddr address.

If you run Opencanary in dev mode: opencanaryd --dev. Hopefully if you trigger an alert now, you will see a message telling you what the issue is.

Hi @gkakar08,

Sorry for the delay in the response here (and thanks for sending through the screenshot with more information). It looks like you may have enabled a service on OpenCanary that is using a port that is already in use by some other service running on the machine.

Which services are you trying to use for OpenCanary? The check here would be to make sure that any services you enable for OpenCanary are going to use ports are that are currently unused. You should be able to check which ports are being used on your machine using something like netstat -pant. If you let me know which OS you are using we can try debug further?
