hmmm,
I think I am beginning to see the error in my ways perhaps,
I do not have any Alert-checkers.....
I have never had to add them or go near them as the version I was originally running just simply emailed me with Device down, device up, device rebooted, or if I wanted it to - port down etc
So the new version will not do this by default? Do I need to created alert checkers for all my devices?

Hi,
Please share your alert checker configuration (screenshot) so we can see if those are alright, first.

Thanks for your replies,
I have un commented the line "$config['poller-wrapper']['alerter'] = TRUE;" , and also confirmed that I have the correct cron job configured. I then gave the VM a reboot as It is one of the devices that I observe. Unfortunalty i did not receive an email alert, so I reboot another device for a full 5 minutes so I should have received 1 x email alert for device down and 1 x reboot alert. I did not receive either. Is there a way I can monitor/watch the email being sent or processed to confirm that it is indeed happening?

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Hi, I have been using Observium for about 1 year successfully and recently, approximately 3mth ago, I subscribed to the paid version, upgraded via SVN and copied my config.php. I do not have working email alerts at the moment and would like to know what needs to be changed to get this working again. Below is a print of my config.php file. Please advise me as to what needs to be changed to get email working again. Config.php: <?php ## Have a look in includes/defaults.inc.php for examples of settings you can set here.
