Unmanaged alerting - USER?

I have set up an Active Alert that is trigger when a node is placed into an UNMANAGED state, works like a treat and very happy.

BUT is there anyway to state within the active alert which logged in user placed this device into an UNMANAGED state?

Bit indepth I know.

I've never heard of any for that kind of thing. The fields updated when this happens are unmanaged, unmanagedfrom, and unmanageduntil in the nodes table.

Steven,

Thanks for the reply, the only need for it is that Service Desk have requested this due to people leaving a device in unmanaged for a full day and not changing the options fir date and time.

Therefore wanting to be able to see who was the user who placed it in unmanaged

That makes sense. The only problem is the who-did-what kind of auditing is a slippery slope. If they implement it one place folks will want it for every action in the software. Until everything has been moved to the web console that would be a daunting task. In NPM 10.4 custom properties will be migrated. That leaves mapping and alert definitions. I wouldn't be surprised as soon as the application is managed entirely from the web that auditing wouldn't be far behind.
