Hi, Observiuminists :)
by first, what version you use (CE, Pro)?
I remember some time ago, probably in CE, used an old format for email config, with many nested keys, like: _$config['alerts']['alerter']['default']_ and similar. /This options obsolete and not supported!/
Full list actually supported email config options is (see in includes/default.inc.php):
// Mailer backend Settings $config['email']['enable'] = TRUE; // Enable/Disable email globally $config['email']['from'] = NULL; // Mail from. Default: "Observium" <observium@`hostname`> $config['email']['default'] = NULL; // Default alert recipient $config['email']['default_only'] = FALSE; // Only use default recipient (all alerts send to default recipient) $config['email']['backend'] = 'mail'; // Mail backend. Allowed: "mail" (PHP's built-in), "sendmail", "smtp". // sendmail backend specific options $config['email']['sendmail_path'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail'; // The location of the sendmail program. // smtp backend specific options $config['email']['smtp_host'] = 'localhost'; // Outgoing SMTP server name. $config['email']['smtp_port'] = 25; // The port to connect. $config['email']['smtp_timeout'] = 10; // SMTP connection timeout in seconds. $config['email']['smtp_secure'] = NULL; // Enable encryption. Use 'tls' or 'ssl' $config['email']['smtp_auth'] = FALSE; // Whether or not to use SMTP authentication. $config['email']['smtp_username'] = NULL; // SMTP username. $config['email']['smtp_password'] = NULL; // Password for SMTP authentication.
/these options and minimal examples I will soon write to the wiki/
BUT, some old config options still works (but also obsolete), like: $config['alerts']['email']['default']
Minimal email config for send all alerts to one (or multiple by commas) default recipient(s) is: *$config['email']['default'] = 'your@domain.com';** **$config['email']['default_only'] = TRUE;* /that use php built-in mail function for send mails./
For check your options and correct sending emails use script (within main observium dirrectory): *./test_mail.php*
it will tell if it is found something problem sent mails. If emails is still not able to send, try run this script with -d options and send script out here.

You can have multiple addresses separated by commas.

No problem at all. Really nice product.
Btw do we support multiple recipient yet? Or do I have to use a mail list for that?

I really appreciate you guys awesome work. But just want to point
out that the format in your example IS the one I used and failed and different from Adam just sent.
$config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['contact'] = "you@yourdomain.org”;
Vs
$config['alerts']['email']['default'] = "adama@memetic.org”;
Seems the “right” syntax is a lot neater.

Thank you so much :P this works. But Š not in any documentations :P
Versions I used were directly from config.php.default with my modification. And some from some older version¹s example and from this email list¹s old threadsŠ
But with these 3 lines, it worked perfectly!

Hi,
Assuming your system mail works, this is all you need :
$config['alerts']['email']['default'] = "adama@memetic.org"; $config['alerts']['email']['from'] = "Observium Dev adama@memetic.org"; $config['alerts']['email']['default_only'] = TRUE;

I tired many ways to make email working. But seems to be out of
luck.
From linux command line, mail prove to be work on either local sendmail/postfix or via external smtp server. Php test email works either way as well. But observium seems not able to generate any alert email. A tcpdump session would not capture any email data as well when my configured alert checker fires off an alert.
Seems from config.php, I need to configure $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['descr'] = "Observium
Alert"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['type'] = "email"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['contact'] = ³zliang@xxxx.com"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['enable'] = TRUE;
$config['email_from'] = ³observium@xxxxxx.com"; $config['email_backend'] = "mail"; $config['email_smtp_host'] = 'localhost¹;
Also tried
$config['email']['from'] = ³observium@xxx.com"; $config['email']['backend'] = "mail"; $config['email']['smtp_host'] = 'localhost'; $config['email']['default_only'] = 'true'; $config['email']['smtp_secure'] = 'false¹;
And
$config['email']['from'] = ³observium@mydomain.com"; $config['email']['backend'] = ³smtp"; $config['email']['smtp_host'] = ¹smtp.mydomain.com'; $config['email']['default_only'] = 'true'; $config['email']['smtp_secure'] = 'false¹;
None of those combination of configs works.
It looks like we are deprecate old format of $config['email_from¹] to $config[Œemail¹]['from¹] style? With later format, from global settings, I could see my change taking effect. But using the old format, some values got updated, some not. But nevertheless, email were never sent out.
Please advise.
