The cosmos generator linked a consumer to its provider only through an '<role>' in group_names reference or an explicit provides: name. A hard dependency has neither -- pinning the provider on unconditionally is exactly what removes the Jinja reference the generator was reading -- so web-svc-asset's bond to web-svc-file vanished from the diagram the moment it became binding. Match a service key against the provider's own primary key from the registry, in both directions. Services the role turns off drew a solid 1:1 edge, claiming a mandatory relationship for something that carries nothing at deploy time. They now render as a red 0..0 edge; edge merging gained a real precedence so a provider consumed through two keys stays live when only one is off. Named colour, not hex: a '#' opens an entity code in the mermaid lexer and turns the whole diagram into a parse error on GitHub. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

# sys-ctl-hlth-msmtp
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
This Ansible role sends periodic health check emails using **msmtp** to verify that your mail transport agent is operational. It deploys a simple script and hooks it into a systemd service and timer, with failure notifications sent via Telegram.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
Optimized for Archlinux, this role creates the required directory structure, installs and configures the sys-ctl-hlth-check script, and integrates with the **sys-ctl-alm-telegram** role. It uses the **sys-timer** role to schedule regular checks based on your customizable `OnCalendar` setting.
|
|
|
|
## Cosmos
|
|
|
|
The diagram places sys-ctl-hlth-msmtp in the Infinito.Nexus cosmos: the components it deploys (capabilities), the central services it consumes (dependencies), and its outward reach (federation and bridged external networks).

Solid `1:1` edges are fixed relationships; dashed `0..1` edges are conditional (enabled only in matching deployments); red `0..0` edges are turned off in this role. Node markers show the role's deploy modes (💻 host, 🐳 compose, 🐝 swarm); ❌ marks a service that is explicitly turned off, and ⚙️ an Ansible role dependency declared in `meta/main.yml`.
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
|
|
The **sys-ctl-hlth-msmtp** role ensures that your mail transport system stays available by sending a test email at defined intervals. If the email fails, a Telegram alert is triggered, allowing you to detect and address issues before they impact users.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- **Directory & Script Deployment:** Sets up `sys-ctl-hlth-msmtp/` and deploys a templated Bash script to send test emails via msmtp.
|
|
- **Systemd Service & Timer:** Provides `.service` and `.timer` units to run the check and schedule it automatically.
|
|
- **Failure Notifications:** Leverages **sys-ctl-alm-telegram** to push alerts when the script exits with an error.
|
|
- **Configurable Schedule:** Define your desired check frequency using the `on_calendar_health_msmtp` variable.
|
|
- **Email Destination:** Specify the recipient via the `lookup('users', 'administrator').email` variable.
