That’s not how test_alert.php works:

USAGE:

test_alert.php -a alert_entry_id [-d debug]

test_alert.php -c contact_id [-r] [-d debug]

The -a argument should be an alert_entry_id (an individual alert), or you can use -c where the argument should be a contact_id. You can find these IDs in the UI when you visit the pages for the entries they refer to.

I had to redo my Observium installation and at this time I’m unable to receive any alerts. I tried testing postfix and that works:

sudo echo "This is the body of the email" | mail -s "This is the subject line" userX@domain.com

When I try it with Observium I get nothing:

userX@Observium2:/opt/observium$ ./test_alert.php -a userx@domain.com

Observium 22.5.12000

Test Alert Notification

userX@Observium2:

I’ve Googled this and I found serveral hits to change the PHP file, but I understood that we shouldn’t be “tweaking” that file. Any ideas on what I’ve missed?
