Hi Darren,
Repeat after me: There is no alerting in Observium!
;-)
What we're actually trying to say is:
- We don't support the current alerting code really, although we do accept decent patches to it; if it acts weird, we can only recommend you to disable alerting
- Don't count on it alerting you to all problems, so make sure you have something else also monitoring your infrastructure
- Don't be surprised if it alerts you to nonexistent problems
If it works for you, very well, it can only get better once "decent" code is implemented.

...and now I'm receiving alerts for Microsoft servers that have been down and subsequently rebooted. Most of what I need actually works, despite there being "no alerting" in Observium.
I'm confused but very pleased - thanks!

thanks for the heads-up. Now I'm really confused, the following "alert" arrived via e-mail morning: Observium :: Network Observation and Monitoring Device Rebooted : ms-gb-02 4m 1s ago. This is the sort of information I'm looking for, maybe to include unresponsive nodes, that fail to respond to polling correctly etc. ...So close and yet so far :-) Never mind, back to grappling with Nagios - boooo! Thanks again for your efforts, Observium is a lovely package to configure and work with.
