Hi Bertrand,

No needs to use alert module for that.

On SVN4574 the alert for host down is working.
You'll just have to set some stuff on config.php :

$config['alerts']['email']['default'] = "alerts@example.com";
$config['email_from'] = "Observium <obs@example.com>";
$config['email_backend'] = "smtp";
$config['email_smtp_host'] = 'mail.example.com';
$config['email_smtp_port'] = 25;
$config['alerts']['email']['enable'] = TRUE;
$config['alerts']['port']['ifdown'] = TRUE;
// Port Bandwith
$config['alerts']['port_util_alert'] = TRUE;
$config['alerts']['port_util_perc'] = 85;

With such configuration you will get alert : host down / up.

Otherwise on Alert menu (just after Observium logo; click on Globe) you can define alerts.

By the way don't forget to se email on SNMP to where alert it should go... :p

Objet: [Observium] Mailing alert for hosts down

Good afternoon everyone,

 

I’m a security administrator from a French insurance company and me and my collegues are interested in your powerful monitoring tool. I’ve tested it recently and was amazed by the pretty easy installation of such an intuitive software :-) I’ve also discovered your splitting editions and your intentions for the future and agree with that. The pricing is correct in front of all the work you (all the devs) have done.

 

The only things I would to know to convince my chief that it’s the tool we need, is : do you have a roadmap for the alerting module ? Because, if I’ve correctly understood, you have done a successful Kickstarter campaign to implement the alerting module, but from my last tests (one of the last free SVN edition, something like r4400) the alerting module wasn’t really enabled, even after changing the config.php and setting the mailing alerts (with the right SMTP relay, recipient, etc…).

 

Another question is, when (or how if I’ve done it wrong …) do you plan to enable mail alerts for hosts down ?

 

I didn’t search in all your archives (only the last months) but I’m sorry if the questions was already asked … and I’m sorry for my rough English …

 

Thank you in advance for your answer(s),

 

Adrien Bertrand
