Email alerts - better highlighting

Post by V@no »

Hello.

I set to send email as detailed HTML report, checked all the available checkboxes.

When one of my hard drives started overheating, it sent me email alert with headline "Hard Disk Sentinel: Overheat (TEST COMPUTER) [79 %]"
Cool. But in that email there is so much information about 15 hard drives and absolutely no highlighting of the issue whatsoever, I had to scroll through everything and read each line to find the info about the issue.

It would be nice if:
1) it highlighted the hard drive that triggered the alert (with different background color) and the triggered parameter of the alert as well
2) have a list of each hard drive on top as clickable index (with alerted HDD highlighted)
3) or at least display hard drive that triggered alert on top of the list

Thank you.

Thanks for the tips, yes, I can confirm that it is already planned to improve the reports (alerts) in a such way to allow finding the appropriate drive and reason easier.

In this situation, if you open the e-mail, please search for the word "overheat".
The hard disk(s) triggering the overheat alert are marked with that word to indicate the temperature threshold reached and this triggered the alert.

Please check Configuration -> Message settings page, where it is possible to configure the format of the report sent in alerts (short text, complete text, HTML) and the components/information to be included in the reports. These can help to make the report smaller and the appropriate drive/issue may be reached easier.
