# eMail Alerts
# Send alert email messages to the following address(es). Leave empty
# for no alert. For multiple destinations use a comma separated list.
ALERT_TO=""

# Subject of alert email
ALERT_SUBJECT="Achtung: $HOST antwortet nicht mehr!"

# Text of Message (But in 'single quotes' to protect variables. They should get
# expanded at the time the message is sent!)
ALERT_TEXT='"\n[$TIME_STAMP]\n\nALERT!!\n\n\t$HOST is down!\n\nYou should probably do something, please.\nKind regards, $PINGHOST."'
