It’s in the paid version, the paid version helps to allow development to continue so that eventually some of these features can make their way into the CE version. If the CE version did everything the Pro version does then where is the incentive to subscribe and help Observium continue to evolve, let alone exist?

Think of the CE version as a demo to show of a lot of the functionality available. If you like what you see and want more then becoming a paid subscriber for £100/yr (roughly $182CDN/yr) should seem like the deal of the year for what you get. If alerting is such an “important feature that is lacking” for you then by all means, become a subscriber, support the product and get alerting. :) If having alerting for your devices isn’t worth that price then it doesn’t sound like it’s REALLY that important to you.

I see that observium is an excellent product

Also see that alerting was added as a kickstart feature, and it was funded over a year ago ... was just hoping that i might be finished and included now.

I'm not a developer so i have little or know idea about how long these things take.

Also thanks for your quick reply

Thanks everyone, for the clarification about the alerting feature, as i wasn't sure what future meant, still not exactly clear I guess it means after you pay a small fee which is more than fair. Of course i would be willing to pay for alerting and understand that supporting a project like Observium is important for its future development. I was not trying to be rude or offensive, and just in case anyone has any doubts let me be clear i have nothing but respect for the Observium project and community. However i do not appreciate the aggressive nature, and completely out of line career advice suggested by Lane.

Anyway I will give Observium a try as I have used Zabbix, ZenOSS, PandoraNMS, and tried a few others and I'm currently using OpenNMS all of which seem are overly complex for my needs.

You need to purchase the paid version for the whopping £100/year in order to have access to the alerting system per the information on the Observium homepage.

If you are unwilling to spending £100/year you should probably look into another line of business as bitching here will only get you ignored...
