      Hello,

      I use notification e-mails when a problem arises.

      It would be great that a summary of current problems could be included at the bottom of such e-mails.

       

      Use case: when one of my hosts has a temporary downtime, I receive two emails (one that tells me the host is down, then another when the host is up again). But I also receive plenty of other notifications, a pair for every monitored service on that host, that goes down then up.

      This makes many e-mails, which I happen not to read (thinking that the host is now up anyway), but I sometimes miss one important notification among them.

      If I had a summary of current problems, I would simply read the latest notification e-mail, to check that I indeed have no problems anymore.

      I know that this workflow is not perfect (I should have less notifications, or allow a longer downtime before sending a notification), but I'm just using Zabbix for personal servers, which I can't afford to monitor 24/7, so in this "hobbyist" case this workflow would be ideal for me.

      Thanks
