Custom Alerts for SSL Certificate Expiration Date

bmassey

I am fairly new to Solar Winds and SAM. I have the SSL Certificate Expiration application monitor running on a node. By default the email alert just states that the application is down. I want to create an Alert that will send an email that includes the "Message" in the screen shot. I can't seem to find a variable that contains that information in the email template.

Instead of alerting on an application you need to alert on a component, I don't recall the exact name of it but the component message is one of the variables you can include in the email.  In most cases the best strategy with Orion alerting is to choose the most granular object you can and alert on that because if you choose the parent object you won't be able to easily pull in details about the more specific object type.
