Hi Adam
I currently have 2 checkers
1 for when ping goes down
1 for when snmp goes down
I have this setup for a reason because it monitors our ADSL routers…
sometimes the routers suddenly stop replying to the SNMP BUT the pings are still alive and the router is still online
so if a site stop replying to SNMP I’m not bothered, BUT if i site stops replying by PING then I am bothered
however I haven’t quite worked out the ping alert check yet because the emails that get sent to me when pings come back up are incorrect?
i get a Alert down metric of
device_status_type = ping , device_status = 0
but when I get a recovery metric of
device_status_type = , device_status = 1
i can forward some sample emails I get if you want to have a look at it,
also do you have an example of the alert check we should be using incase I have it setup wrong ?

I don't see much point in having two checkers, really. I'd just have one for when a device is up/down. Knowing if it was SNMP or PING is kinda useless unless you're troubleshooting.
You'll also not have to think about the and/or logic.

Sorry, I'm a visual learner. I set it originally to troubleshoot
individual alerts and gradually add as I encountered what needed to be
monitored.
It should be an "and" checker, but doesn't necessarily have to be. I
have another alert checker for ping.
Honestly, I'm most concerned with just receiving notifications at this
point. As I become more familiar with how Observium functions, I can
delve into other features.
Thanks for the response!

Y'know, I quite like that the image retains the formatting and colourisation. Makes it easier to read.
It'd be nice if you could copy/paste console colours and formatting into an email. That would be pretty useful. A lot of errors you can spot way easier with the colours.
Why have you set a status type? And is that checker an "or" or an "and" checker? (I should add that to that table in the UI, probably)

Hi Jacob,
Please also post your alert checker for "device down".
PS: You know you could just.... paste.... text in an email instead of a screenshot of text in an email. If you want to go that route we will require word document containing a scan of a printed copy of a photo of your monitor.

Hello, I've configured config.php for device down alerts.
However, they're not being sent when a devices is down or they're sent out when a device is not down.
Could someone confirm if my parameters are correct and/or any other files that needs to be configured to enable this critical functionality?
Thank you!!
