NPM Alert web page link variable

I would like to see Solarwinds develop a way to send a web page link url via email for alerts in NPM. I've seen several threads in Thwack about this and they are a bit cludgy. What I'd like to see is some kind of variable in the Alert manager or even some kind of wizard that builds the variable/url link. We are getting into using mobile devices to look at alerts and I would like to have the ability to link from an email alert directly to the web page showing the alert from a mobile device.

The functionality you are asking for already exists in npm. I am running version 10.6 and the ${NodeDetailsURL} variable is available. I use it in the message text and it will input the Node Details Summary page link into the email alert I receive, so I can click the link and go directly to the node alerting.

tcbene is right on this one. Have you tried looking inside of Advance alert manager?

You can already do this as tcbene points out.

Good job tcbene! It will help a lot with our users.

I use an URL in my interface alerting. When I get an alert, I can just click on the URL and it takes me directly to the interface.

This is what I use

http://ORIONSERVERNAME/Orion/NPM/InterfaceDetails.aspx?NetObject=I:${InterfaceID}

So I've just used the ${InterfaceID} variable at the end of my URL.
