My best guess is that you have not un-commented this field:

// Enable alerter
$config['poller-wrapper']['alerter']       = TRUE;

Do you think that is it?

Hi,

I have been using Observium for about 1 year successfully and recently, approximately 3mth ago, I subscribed to the paid version, upgraded via SVN and copied my config.php. I do not have working email alerts at the moment and would like to know what needs to be changed to get this working again. Below is a print of my config.php file. Please advise me as to what needs to be changed to get email working again.

Config.php:

<?php

## Have a look in includes/defaults.inc.php for examples of settings you can set here. DO NOT EDIT defaults.inc.php!

// Database config
$config['db_host'] = "localhost";
$config['db_user'] = "myuesrname";
$config['db_pass'] = "mypassword";
$config['db_name'] = "observium";

// Location
$config['install_dir']  = "/opt/observium";

// Thie should *only* be set if you want to *force* a particular hostname/port
// It will prevent the web interface being usable form any other hostname
#$config['base_url']        = "http://observium.company.com";

// Default community list to use when adding/discovering
$config['snmp']['community'] = array("public");

// Authentication Model
$config['auth_mechanism'] = "mysql";    // default, other options: ldap, http-auth, please see documentation for config help

// Enable alerter
// $config['poller-wrapper']['alerter']       = TRUE;

// Set up a default alerter (email to a single address)

// SNMP Settings
$config['snmp']['timeout'] = 1000;          # timeout in ms
$config['snmp']['retries'] = 6;            # how many times to retry the query

//Ping Settings
$config['ping']['timeout'] = 2000;          # timeout in ms
$config['ping']['retries'] = 10;            # how many times to retry the query

//Alert Settings
$config['alerts']['email']['default']      = "myemail@domain.co.nz";
$config['alerts']['email']['from']         = "observium.dev <myeamil@domain.co.nz>";
$config['alerts']['email']['default_only'] = TRUE;
$config['alerts']['email']['enable']       = FALSE;
$config['uptime_warning']                  = "14400"; ## Time to display reboot warning
//Poller and Discovery Modules

//Syslog settings
$config['enable_syslog']   = 1;
$config['syslog_filter'] = array("last message repeated", "Connection from UDP: [",
                                "ipSystemStatsTable node ipSystemStatsOutFragOKs not implemented",
                                "diskio.c: don't know how to handle");  ## Ignore some crappy stuff from SNMP daemon

//Geocoding Configuration


// End config.php
