Guys, I have a question regarding alerts showing up on the frontpage. I have alerts coming to me via email when I have a alert checker looking at the memory going above 50% (testing this operation). But on the frontpage I do not see this show up in either the status boxes or under the device alerts section. I search around and can not find anything that I changed that would prevent this from showing up on the frontpage. I am sure I did something, but just not sure what? Any pointers or direction to start looking would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Aaron

Hi Aaron,
There's a different frontpage module you need to use with the alerting system (as opposed to the one which just shows you some stuff we've told observium is bad!)
You need to add "alert_table" to your list of front page modules.
The demo system uses this :

Uses this :
$config['frontpage']['order'] = array('status_summary', 'map', 'device_status_boxes', 'device_status', 'eventlog');
Though there are no active alerts on the demo system at the moment, so you can't see it!
It looks like this though :

So if I understand you correctly, the device status boxes have a set of alerts that is configured. By adding the eventlog item in my frontpage order, I will see the activity from the alerts. This is my config section from my config.php
$config['frontpage']['order'] = array('device_status_boxes', 'micrographs', 'status_summary', 'device_status', 'eventlog');
Thank you for the feedback. I am really appreciate it. If there was somewhere that I didn’t look either on the web, mailing list, etc. I am happy to learn how to “feed” myself in the future.

Sorry, I just got your other email. I replaced eventlog with alert_table. All is well.
Thanks again for the help.

There isn't a "boxes" display format for the new alerting yet. I'll add that at some point in the future.
