I never liked mail notifications from monitoring systems where all the information is hidden in non-sense text. Otherwise notifications never look the same, so I&rsquo;m always forced to read all that useless crap again and again. This is an approach to improve the usability of monitoring notifications using more a table pattern which helps me to recognize useful information much quicker.</p> <p>Probably a lot of E-Mail guys will hate me for the reason I&rsquo;m using HTML in mails. The notifications work so much better for me so I don&rsquo;t care. I&rsquo;ve used just inline CSS and there is no JavaScript involved. All the things are in the mail and there are no external resources loaded. Here is how I work with OpenNMS mail notifications.</p>
