1. test_mail.php working good

Observium 0.15.1.6221
Test E-mail Configuration
See mail backend options here: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Configuration_Options#Email_backend_settings
My Hostname: observium.litmuse.com
E-mails ENABLED globally ($config['email']['enable'])
E-mails use PHP-builtin MAIL backend ($config['email']['backend'])
E-mails send from ($config['email']['from']):
alter@localhost
E-mails send to recipients based on default recipient from config and/or device sysContact.
Try send test notification for 192.168.1.3 to these email(s):
sebae@localhost
Notification for 192.168.1.3 SENT.
root@observium:/opt/observium#
2. system alter not working /config.php

Hi Sanguen, for me it wasn't obviously clear at first, but alerting in Observium is based off of alert checks. Once an alert check is triggered, an "alert" log is generated and then an email will be sent out to the custom contact if it exists and then the "default" email for alerts.
For some sanity, here are some sample alert checks I've cobbled together on my own that are general alerts that you can use. Make sure your alert checks are working and then you can test out all of the alerts you want and it works well.
Below is a sample set you can use that I think satisfy a generic ruleset:
Good Afternoon Guys,
I am using the community edition:
Version: 0.16.10.8128
As a user I want to get alerts via email.
I have setup the alerts. I can see the alerts logs.
config.php file below:
// Enable alerter
// $config['poller-wrapper']['alerter'] = TRUE;
//$config['web_show_disabled'] = FALSE; // Show or not disabled devices on major pages.
// 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'] = "matlyn@domain.com";
$config['alerts']['alerter']['default']['enable'] = TRUE;
$config['email']['default'] = "mlynch@herzlia.com";
$config['alerts']['email']['from'] = "Observium <from@domain.com>";
$config['email']['default_only'] = TRUE;
//Email Settings
$config['email']['enable'] = TRUE;
$config['email']['from'] = 'from@domain.com';
$config['email']['default'] = 'matlyn@domain.com';
$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';
$config['email']['smtp_password'] = 'NULL';
// End config.php
$config['email']['backend'] = "sendmail";
$config['email']['sendmail_path'] = "/usr/bin/sendmail -t -i";
Is it correct?
I just cannot seem to receive the alerts via email.
