the two notify types aren't statuses, they're events. The others are statuses the entry into which are added to the event log as events.
alert_notify obviously only happens when a device enters the fail state, and then every 24 hours after. recover_notify happens when a device enters the ok state from a fail state.
We have a vague scheme for what the colours me :
Blue : ok Green : ok but ignored (in some places, green is used to mean "ok" too, but this might be confusing) Orange : fail but delayed (elsewhere in the UI it means "down because a parent is down" like if a vlan is down because a port is down) Purple : fail but alerting is suppressed (a mix of red and blue, meaning it's down, but you've told observium there is nothing to see here) Red: Fail
To be totally sure what these mean, you sometimes have to look at the code. :D

I was wondering the same thing about those colored numbers on "Alert Checker" page. I'm still not sure what they all mean!
How do these 5 entries match the 6 "Status Types"?

OK
RECOVER_NOTIFY
ALERT_NOTIFY
FAIL
FAIL_DELAYED
FAIL_SUPPRESSED
I can add this to the wiki, but I'd prefer some sort of self-documentation, such as a mouse-over tool-tip.
Thanks!

There is the legend on the Overview/front page but it would definitely be nice to have that info on the other pages as well. As a tooltip, it wouldn't disturb the current page layout. -Nick _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium@observium.org http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium
