Generating an alert based off a custom node poller value

Hi All

I'm trying to configure an alert based off the following:

We have a UDNP for our riverbeds, one of those being for Active connections.

When I try and configure an alert with NPM (11.5.3) It only lets me choose another custom node poller I am using , which I don't want.

I am stuck at the section where I want to put a if this UDNP Value is equal to X then generate the alert, I cant get the correct UDNP/Custom Poller selected.

How do I specifically choose the UDNP/Custom value poller that I want? in the alerting area?

Thought I would ask here before I logged a ticket
