Hi Henrik,

My network admin was wondering if there was a way to set the high importance flag on the emails that are sent out by certain servers. It'll have his smartphone chime a different sound if the message is marked as high importance than regular mail.

No big deal if it can't be done easily.

It would be useful to me if the priority flag from the hobbit-nkview.cfg were available in alert scripts (as we'll be logging events to a larger proprietary event management tool). Also, it really does make sense that alerts should have this information (and it would be useful if alert rules could be written for this data, as quite often whether to alert or not is common across tests of the same priority).

Regards,
Buchan

Good idea, I'll keep it in mind the next time I tweak the alerting
mechanism.
