Need help with Trap Viewer alert macros

I'm testing the setting up of alerts in trap viewer. I'm trying to find a macro that will let me put the interface name in the alert text, but nothing's working. Can someone help me?

Thanks

Have you tried one of these?

${Application}SolarWinds application information

${Community}Node community string

${Copyright}Copyright information

${DNS}Fully qualified node name

${IP_Address}IP address of device triggering alert

Yes, all of those work (except for IP_Address, but IP works). So, there's no way to get the Interface name? Will that be available in a future version? Is there a list of macros that work in Trap Viewer alerts?

Thanks!

Not at this time- but I'm sure this could be added in the future- I've attached a list here for you (see page 33)

Is this a current list? The default message that comes up when you add an email action to the alert uses variables called ${datetime}, ${MESSAGETYPE}, and ${MESSAGE}. Are there others like those?

Thanks!
