Hi,
We are using Observium Pro, congratulations, it's a great tool! But I'm having trouble with alerts and need your help.
I have created an alert check for bgp peers, and is ok. But Observium still want send alerts from himself :). How to disable it?
Thanks in advance.

Are you asking how to disable the old alerting system?
If so, try this: $config['alerts']['email']['enable'] = FALSE; // Disables OLD alerting system

Hi Martin,
But for whom Observium will send the alert? sysContact?
Thanks.

Use something like this in your config.php :
$config['alerts']['email']['default'] = "adama@memetic.org"; $config['alerts']['email']['from'] = "Observium Dev adama@memetic.org"; $config['alerts']['email']['default_only'] = TRUE; $config['alerts']['email']['enable'] = FALSE;
This will disable the old alerts (we will remove them shortly, I think), set the to: field to 'default' and from: field to 'from'.
The default_only setting disables using sysContact, which can be troublesome on devices which don't support putting sensible things in there.
