Hmm. Usually to ensure _consistency_ all messages should be sent with a consistent subject line so making this configurable on a per group basis seems slightly suspect. I would have expected to have had a global configuration and then to have various "variables" which can be used to populate the subject. Stuff such as: $host_name $group_name $status and possibly $previous_status $problem_description $duration_of_problem or $start_time_of_problem .... It's not clear exactly what can be configured from the command line. We also anticipate using REST to automatically configure several merlin groups based on external information: (load balancer settings, e.g. which servers are in one load balancer group or another). So having to define the subject settings of notifications for each server group seems rather tedious, and unnecessary, unless you also have a configurable default and normal behaviour is to use the configurable default subject, unless a specific "per server group" subject has been defined.

An entry was added to the 2.2.0 changelog: The subject line in alert emails was not configurable.
