How to add a link on the Alert email

ricksolar

Hi all,

How do I add a link in the alert email to point/lead me to the device that has triggered the alert in NPM?

Is there a sample code that I can copy into the trigger set-up?

This can be done by inserting variables into your email body:

Alert Details: ${N=Alerting;M=AlertDetailsUrl}

Object Details: ${N=SwissEntity;M=DetailsUrl}

Node Details: ${N=SwissEntity;M=Node.DetailsUrl}

Thanks Alex.

I'll try these out.

I don't know if you can also troubleshoot the following codes. Very similar to yours. But not working well.
The first link does not work at all. The 2nd and 3rd links work, but they are unreadable and makes no sense in the email.

View full object details here: ${N=SwisEntity;M=DetailsUrl}.

View full alert details here: ${N=Alerting;M=AlertDetailsUrl}

Click here to acknowledge the alert: ${N=Alerting;M=AcknowledgeUrl}

When I get the alert email, it just shows:

View full object details here: ${N=SwisEntity;M=DetailsUrl}.
View full alert details here: http://server:8787/Orion/View.aspx?NetObject=AAT:2342
Click here to acknowledge the alert: http://server:8787/Orion/Netperfmon/AckAlert.aspx?AlertDefID=2342

* you have typo in your first URL - should be double "ss"

* use <a></a> html tags to make your url readable. For example: <a href="${N=Alerting;M=AcknowledgeUrl}">This is much more readable acknowledge URL</a>
