Question Email notification when user logs in to Plesk

[camthor]

Server operating system version

Debian 10.13

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.61_build1800240703.08

I want to set up notifications for any user login (including admin/root) to Plesk using this information: Question - Plesk email alert login

So I created an event "Plesk user logged in" with the command

echo "username: ${NEW_CONTACT_NAME}" | mail -s "Plesk: User login" -r "[email protected]" [email protected]

. Priority lowest, user "root".

It works when I run this command with SSH, but no email arrives when I log out and log back in to Plesk. Do I have to enable events somewhere?

Hi there, did you use that command directly in the in the command field of the event? If so, I recommend creating a Bash script instead with that command and calling that script from the command field of the event instead.

There is a similar topic here that might help you troubleshoot.

Thank you! Indeed, it works now after I moved that line into a bash script and call that script in the event.

Hi, Is there any way to also put the IP address of the login to the mail body like:

echo "username: ${NEW_CONTACT_NAME}" | mail -s "User Login Plesk Panel" -b "$plesk db "SELECT login,ip_address FROM sessions;"" [email protected]

Hi, Is there any way to also put the IP address of the login to the mail body like:

Unfortunately not. Because the session gets created after the event has fired. Meaning there is no IP to fetch from the database yet up on firing this event.
