Hi Matt,

Yes, the legacy alerters have been removed as they did not work very
well. The new alerting system is a lot better.

I was planning to create example alerts to replicate the old ones, but I
haven't gotten around to that unfortunately.

For example, device rebooted:

- Entity type: device
- Alert conditions: device_uptime < 300
- Entity match: *
- Device match: *

+ Turn off "Send recovery" so you don't get a recovery mail after 5 minutes.

Tom
