We are having issues with native alerting in Storage Manager.
We would really like the ability to setup up custom alerts that have meaningful data in them. We would also like the ability to customize the Subject line.
One of the Engineers told us we can send a trap to Orion NPM and have Orion send a custom email. My management does not want to add more complexity and another point of failure when it comes the the Storage alerting.
As you can see from the test email below there is no usefull information about which snap-mirror relationship hit the threshold.
Here is what one of the snapmirror alerts look like:
From: Orion
Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2012 12:15 PM

Subject: server_name Information Threshold condition me... 03/01/2012 15:15:07

Host: server_name
Event: Threshold condition met - TESTING EDITS CLM.
