Ive followed the documentation but cannot get email alerting working. I see nothing in my mail log from Observium and other mailings on the system work without issue (RANCID, using the mail command from shell) so I believe it related to something I am doing wrong in Observium or PHP. It also looks as though whats in config.php.default doesn't match whats documented in the wiki. Ill gladly update it once I figure out which is correct.
I am running Observium build 0.14.3.5112 on Debian 5.5.35-0
My config.php based on config.php.defaults , which differs slightly from http://www.observium.org/wiki/Configuration_Options#Alert_Settings
$config['poller-wrapper']['alerter'] = TRUE; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['descr'] = "Network Alert"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['type'] = "email"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['contact'] = "noc@mediamath.com"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['enable'] = TRUE;

That's a bug in the config.php.defaults examples. Follow the wiki documentation. -- Cameron Moore

This configuration is for the future 'alerter' setup which will allow different recipients. At the moment the new alerting infrastructure is just plugged directly into the old alerting notification system, so it is configured the same as in the wiki.
There's another thread elsewhere about it today, which i posted the configuration options i'm using on the dev system.
