ok great,
I will get a few basic alerters programmed and await an update at some stage with further examples. I will update tommorrow if the alerts have been successful.
I like the send recovery toggle - sometimes the little hamster would go ape for up to 20 emails with a missed SNMP down. Glad to send the end of that.

Hi Matt,
Yes, the legacy alerters have been removed as they did not work very
well. The new alerting system is a lot better.
I was planning to create example alerts to replicate the old ones, but I
haven't gotten around to that unfortunately.
For example, device rebooted:
- Entity type: device
- Alert conditions: device_uptime < 300
- Entity match: *
- Device match: *
+ Turn off "Send recovery" so you don't get a recovery mail after 5 minutes.
