Hello,
I'm having an issue getting Observium to send email alerts.
1. SysContact is set on the client device. 2. Sending test mail from monitoring server via sendmail on command line works fine. 3. Observium config.php has following configuration:
$config['alerts']['email']['enable'] = TRUE; $config['alerts']['port']['ifdown'] = TRUE; $config['alerts']['email']['default'] = "notif…@xx.net";
$config['email_backend'] = 'mail'; $config['email_from'] = "MTR mtr...@xx.net"; $config['email_sendmail_path'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
$config['alerts']['interval'] = 900;
Setup a demo device, ensured it was polling and reporting correctly, then force-shutdown the demo. No mail sent by Observium. In mail.log, nothing reported (except for the successful test message I sent via command line).
Maybe I'm misunderstanding. Will Observium send an email alert when a monitored device goes down, when configured this way? How can I achieve this?
Many thanks in advance to anyone who can offer advice.
