Is it possible that to send notice emails for an event that gets
acknowledged (either from the admin page or through email)?  Glancing
through the man page, I didn't see
If not, pls treat this as a feature request. To me, this is usually as
useful as the RECOVERED flag, if not more. More generally, maybe a
'stateChange' flag in addition to 'recovered'?

There are many, many ways to do this.  Simplest might be to modify the
"acknowledge" tool to run a script that sends the email.  Or substitute
a script that sets the acknowledgement flag after sending the email.  Or
... You name it.

Oops -- thinking about the wrong tool!  Scratch everything I said!

You're right, this is not possible. It should be fairly simple to
implement.

Hi Henrik,

Do you know if we can send emails when an event is acknowledged in
hobbit 4.2.3 via hobbit-alerts.cfg?

The documentation does not refer it but you might have implemented it.
It would be great if the NOTICE option would cover both enable/disable
and acknowledgment.

I attached an old thread for this request below.

Thanks,
