Custom Email alerts with Top 5 conversations listed

Hello all, I have a question about setting up an email alert for Bandwidth Utilization. First let me state that I am still figuring out all the miraculous things this software can do and am loving the amount of control and monitoring/managing of our network we have. So my problem is this:

I have setup an alert monitoring the bandwidth on all of our circuits to remote sites, and if one of them goes above 75% utilization for more than 30 seconds it triggers the alert and sends an email. This is a great setup as it saves us several helpdesk calls, complaining of slow network response allowing us to catch the issue and get it resolved in a timely fashion before people begin to notice. I would like to have included in that email, a listing of the top 5 conversations on that circuit, but don't know how to set that up. Can this be done and if so how?

Thanks in advance

Norman

I assume you have the NetFlow Traffic Analyzer addon module installed since you reference conversations? Unfortunately, there doesn't exist a variable that will list the top five conversations. Instead, you could use the E-mail a Web Page alert action to forward a copy of one of the canned reports that does provide this information. Hopefully, that points you in the right direction.
