@gianpaoloracca & @uberchuckie I can confirm email alerts do work with the community edition & with this docker in unraid. Reference for original config I used: https://jira.observium.org/browse/OBS-1267 I based my config on the one Matthew Lynch posted there but changed it from using sendmail to use smtp & it worked. For email alerts to work you have to edit config.php within the appdata & add the below config while changing the fields to fill in with your data. Example of the config I used in my setup: // Set up a default alerter (email to a single address) $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['descr'] = "Default Email Alert"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['type'] = "email"; $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['contact'] = "[email protected]"; //The default email contact you want notifications to be delivered to $config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['enable'] = TRUE; $config['email']['default'] = "[email protected]"; //The default email contact you want notifications to be delivered to $config['alerts']['email']['from'] = "Observium <[email protected]>"; //The email address the notification will be sent from. $config['email']['default_only'] = TRUE; //Email Settings $config['email']['enable'] = TRUE; $config['email']['from'] = '[email protected]'; //The email address the notification will be sent from. $config['email']['default'] = '[email protected]'; //The default email contact you want notifications to be delivered to $config['email']['backend'] = 'smtp'; $config['email']['sendmail_path'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail'; $config['email']['smtp_host'] = 'smtp.domain.com'; $config['email']['smtp_port'] = 587; $config['email']['smtp_timeout'] = 10; $config['email']['smtp_auth'] = TRUE; $config['email']['smtp_username'] = 'NULL'; //usually the email address used for sending emails. $config['email']['smtp_password'] = 'NULL'; //Had to change the backend from sendmail to smtp & comment out with // or remove the sendmail section. $config['email']['backend'] = "smtp"; //$config['email']['sendmail_path'] = "/usr/bin/sendmail -t -i"; NOTE: When I tested after copying what they had and filling in everything with my email info & tried to do a test from console the backend: sendmail didn't work so I had to comment out the last line regarding sendmail_path and change the backend = from sendmail to be smtp. If you wish to copy what I have here and add it to your config.php from the appdata you can just fill in with your info. Once you have that configured you can test it easily by doing the following. 1. In the Observium web add an email contact in the contacts section. Note the ID number on the left once it is added. 2. Load up the console of the docker container. 3. type the following command. Replacing the 1 with the ID of your contact you want the test email to be delivered to. ./opt/observium/test_alert.php -c 1 4. It should give you either an OK or a failure with an error code. Also, on the link above someone provided a sample set you can use for creating a generic ruleset alert checkers. http://imgur.com/q34ZBWQ
