Thanks Adam.

While going through the config.php documentation i have noticed the below

Alert Settings

Please note that this is currently only applicable to the Subscription Edition


 Just to make sure, is the alerting feature is not available in the free version? I did not see this note basic documentation.


Thank you,

It sounds like you haven't actually configured any alert checkers.

The parameter to -a is actually an alert checker id.

Check the alert documentation on the site.

Hello Everyone,

I have been using Observium to monitor a variety of network devices and VMWare ESXi hosts. Observium is doing a great job in gathering all the data from these devices and it is really helpful.

I am trying to setup some alerts for disk, cpu and network utilizations but not receiving any emails. 

Here are some more details.
Version: Observium CE 0.16.1.7533

1) I have modified below lines with right email address.
// set up alerts

$config['alerts']['email']['default']      = "mail@example.com";    ## Default alert recipient
$config['alerts']['email']['default_only'] = true;   ## Only use default recipient
$config['alerts']['email']['enable']       = true;    ## Disable email alerts as we do not use observium for monitoring but only for metering
$config['uptime_warning']                  = "86400"; ## Time in seconds to display a "Device Rebooted" warning, defualts to 1 day. Set to 0 to disable warnings.
$config['alerts']['port']['ifdown']        = false; ## Generate an alert for ports which enter the ifdown state.

2) Tried sending test mail using  ./test_alert.php
./test_alert.php -a "some text"

3) Logged in to Web UI, under global settings set all buttons to default under "Use DB"

4) Setup some tests and to trigger alerts and looks like it tried to send some alerts, seeing a time entry under Alerted column.

5) Checked observium log(logs/observium.log) and system logs to see if there were any attempts to send out an email. No entries were found.

6) Observium server is able to send out emails, i have tested it using mailx and sendmail commands, it uses postfix configuration.


I am not able to find where the issue is. Can someone help me with this?


Thank you,
