Getting message data from Windows script monitors

I have a windows script monitor which recurses through directories looking for files that have not been processed by an application. When it finds a directory, it returns the directory path in the WScript.echo( "Message: ..." ) part of the response. This means that I can see the directory in the info mouseover on the monitoring status screen, but what I really want to do is set up an alert that emails the support team with the directory name.

I can set up an alert that emails the support team, but I can't find a way to to get the directory name in the email. Is this possible?

Use the alert variable ${StatusOrErrorDescription}

Use the alert variable ${StatusOrErrorDescription}

Thanks very much, that's solved my problem.

Kronork, if you want to see what other information you can get APM to insert into your alert notifications, have a quick glance at the alert variables tables:

Application Monitor Variables for Alerts

Orion APM adds the following variables to the core SolarWinds Orion variables when selecting APM-Application as the property type.

${Availability}

Provides the status of the application.

${ComponentsWithProblems}

Provides a comma-delimited list of components in a down, unknown, warning, or critical state.

${ComponentsWithStatus}

Provides a comma-delimited list of all components and their current status.

${ID}

Provides the numeric application ID of the specific application.

${LastTimeUp}

Provides the date and time the application was last seen in an Up state.

${Name}

Provides the name of the component, for example, SW Orion Module Engine.

${NodeID}

Provides the numeric node ID of the server on which the application is monitored.

${TimeStamp}

Provides the last polling date and time of an application.

Component Monitor Variables for Alerts

Orion APM adds the following variables to the core SolarWinds Orion variables when selecting APM-Component as the property type.

Provides the name of the monitored application.

${ApplicationStatus}

Provides the status of the application.

${ComponentId}

Provides the numeric component ID of the specific application.

${ComponentName}

Provides the name of the component, for example, SW Orion Module Engine.

${ComponentStatus}

Provides the status of the specific component.

${ComponentType}

Provides the numeric component type. For more information, see “Orion APM Alerts”.

${DisplayType}

Provides the display type, for example, Windows Service, for the specific monitor.

${LastTimeUp}

Provides the date and time a component was last seen in the Up state.

${MemoryUsed}

Provides the memory used by a component, in bytes.

${NodeID}

Provides the numeric node ID of the server on which the application is monitored.

${PercentApplicationAvailability}

Provides the availability of an application as a percentage.

${PercentComponentAvailability}

Provides the availability of a component as a percentage.

${PercentCPU}

Provides the CPU used by a component as a percentage.

${PercentMemory}

Provides the memory used by a component as a percentage.

${PercentVirtualMemory}

Provides the virtual memory used by a component as a percentage.

${ProcessInstanceCount}

Provides the instance count of a process.

${ProcessName}

Provides the process name.

${ResponseTime}

Provides the response time of a component.

${StatisticData}

Provides the statistics data value of a component.

${StatusOrErrorDescription]

Provides the status of the component, including the full text of any error messages.

${Threshold-CPU-Critical}

Provides the critical threshold for CPU.

${Threshold-CPU-Warning}

Provides the warning threshold for CPU.

${Threshold-PhysicalMemory-Critical}

Provides the critical threshold for physical memory.

${Threshold-PhysicalMemory-Warning}

Provides the warning threshold for physical memory.

${Threshold-ResponseTime-Critical}

Provides the critical threshold for response time.

${Threshold-ResponseTime-Warning}

Provides the warning threshold for response time.

${Threshold-Statistic-Critical}

Provides the critical threshold for statistics.

${Threshold-Statistic-Warning}

Provides the warning threshold for statistics.

${Threshold-VirtualMemory-Critical}
