Hello,
Does anyone know if it is possible at current status to have alerting sent to multiple users. Say I want only Cisco IOS devices to get alerts at an email and Windows devices to get alerts at a different email. Is that level of granularity built in at present or on the way at all?
Right now my sys admin and I don’t need each others alerts…
Thanks in advance.
Either change the sysContact on the device itself, or override it (Device settings->Alerts->Override sysContact) and set them to a distribution group/mailing list that includes whatever people need to get alerts for that device.

The original design was to use the sysContact if nothing else was configured, but I'm not sure if anyone actually does this, so it may not still work. Test it, and report back :)
Sending to multiple recipients is best handled by routing on your mail server, I'm not sure I'd really want to mess with that in Observium.

I have been figuring that our alerting (when I have time to get it done) will rely on feeding passive events created from Observium SQL queries into Nagios. We do similarly for NMIS, which we still use in a number of locations, and that takes care of all the escalation, etc. in a uniform manner. I know some folks prefer to dump Nagios and use only Observium, and I wish that would work, but stuff like this is a one of many good reasons to keep it in place.

Good solution :)
Our slightly inefficient-but-simple poller/alerter split with state kept in mysql should make that a little easier. You just replace our alerter.php functionality with some of your own code to inject into Nagios!
