SendGrid Setup

Create sender identity

Before sending email, you’ll need to create a sender identity. There are two ways to do this, but SendGrid recommend creating a Single Sender to get set up quickly.

• Open send grid resource in Azure
• Click on Manage
• If requested, confirm the assigned e-mail address. SendGrid Account Manage link and Confirmation link should be opened with the same browser
• Proceed to Create a Single Sender by following the site’s instructions
  • From Name, Company Address and Nickname: Upkip <customer_identifier>
  • From Email Address and Reply To: upkip@icb.bg
  • City: Sofia
  • Country: Bulgaria
  • Confirm the email
• Configured senders can be found here: https://app.sendgrid.com/settings/sender_auth/senders

API Key setup

Next a new API Key should be setup:

• In Send grid portal, go to Settings > API Keys
• Generate a new Key with name Upkip and choose Full Access
  • Copy-paste the value in the environment configuration file
• Open the Upkip Administration / Notification Server / Media Types / Email and update relevant settings
• Use the same key to configure Upkip Visualization (Grafana SMTP settings):
  • RDP into the Grafana VM and manually fix the “[smtp] password” parameter in conf\custom.ini configuration file. Restart grafana-server service.
• If necessary fix the smtpFromAddress which by default is set to upkip@icb.bg:
  • Upkip Administration
  • Upkip Visualization
