Yup, you need a more recent version, device entity was added 17/4.

Are you on the latest version? (It's probably not in the stable branch yet?)

I see in the wiki that there is a "device_status" metric, but I
can't figure out how to use it. There is no "Device" entity type
when I try to make a new alert checker.

Is this feature still in development?

Hi Stefano,

The old alerting system did more than host up/down, but this was probably the biggest hurdle for people to being able to disable the legacy system.

I'm going to have a look if the old one did anything the current one can't do with checkers but I think there might be nothing left.

If you were relying on the legacy system for host up/down only, you can definitely turn it off.

- Entity type: Device - Checker condition: device status = 0 - Host match: * (or whatever you want to monitor, only) - Entity match: *

will give you host up/down alerting.

Tom

I've tried this as well and tried to separate the emails by syslocation under host match: location equals example county. This still has no effect, Which part have I screwed up royally?

What makes you think "location equals country" would work?

"location" is the field name in the db, so if observium allows this as a host attribute, it should work, no?

What makes you think anything you were doing would "separate emails by syslocation"?

By creating a checker with a host filter by device location, obviously ;-)

Tom

Well aren't you a dick... I mispoke I meant separate the alerts by syslocation and I never said country. I have had in the past other metrics separated in the alert window by location which are separated by COUNTY, which is how our syslocations settings are setup not COUNTRY. And this is so the subject line and message makes a little bit more sense and the message can be easily read. When you get as many alerts as we do if we can diferentiate the site a little easier when the emails come through it makes life easier. Never once was a rude. I have been a part of this list for a while and see you berate and bilittle subscribers in the past. We are a paying customer and our company has paid to sponsor MIB additions and have offered to pay to sponsor more. Is this how you treat your customers? In fact the "location equals syslocation" was recommended by one of you a couple months ago.

Well that does it, only been here for a short while, and the software absolutely seems to have potential, but I will cut my losses and find another solution.

The tone and manner of this list, headed by Adam is completely un-acceptable, and if you give back with the same tone he bans you from the list it seems.
