Is it possible to put the component status details message (the "The service was not running..." message in the red box in the screenshot below) in an e-mail alert? If so what variable do I use?
You should be able to use ${StatusOrErrorDescription} to get this information within your alert message.
${StatusOrErrorDescription} isn't being recognized as a variable. The alert is based on the "APM: Application" property. Am I missing something?
The ${StatusOrErrorDescription} macro is only available using the APM: Component property type as applications can be made up of hundreds of different components.
Could you still reference it using ${APM_AlertsandReportsData.StatusOrErrorDescription}? Just a thought, granted on an application level, it would return for all components.
