Need to determine which variable will give me actual IP/SLA value in alert

Question

I'm building my alerts in the NPM console for IP/SLA. It now correctly triggers an alert in NPM when an IP/SLA threshold is tripped, but I don't see what variable to put in the alert config that will show me the actual MOS score, jitter, latency, etc.

I'm trying to make the alert as detailed as possible. Here's my NPM event log message syntax:

${OperationTypeName} IP SLA Operation  ${OperationName} on Node ${SourceNodeCaption} is ${OperationStatusName}: ${StatusMessage}

Any ideas?

I guess I should've clarified my dilemma a little more.

The IP/SLA operations are monitoring all of the variables together. When you configure the canned IP/SLA alert in NPM, it's trigger condition is just for any IP/SLA operation that is 'warning' or 'critical'... so it lumps everything together.

I guess my options are to print all IP/SLA values with every alert we send out or to step outside of the canned alert and define my own three alerts for each value and then print just that value in the alert output....

Harrumphhh.

Try using the variable builder by clicking on the 'insert variable' button. These should be available:

${Latency}

${Jitter}

${MOS}
