Alert will not display Custom Property

This is probably a simple issue to resolve for someone, but I'm having a lot of problems getting this to work.

I'm thinking the reason why is because the property is based on one object type but the alert is based on another. Obviously I could be wrong but its the best guess I have.

We have a custom node property that I want displayed in a Alert.

For a alert trigger based on a node, the Syntax ${Server_Role} or ${N=SwisEntity;M=CustomProperties.Server_Role} works fine to display the information.

But it will not work for Volumes. It shows the string instead of the result.

What syntax do I need to use in the statement to join that information together so that it outputs the Custom Property

I'm thinking that it would select from NodesData,Volumes,and NodesCustomProperties, but im not sure how to format this using SWQL.

Help?

Hello,

have you tried ${N=SwisEntity;M=Node.CustomProperties.Server_Role} ?

Thanks.

Can you try this

in my case, when trying to get one working with a custom property this was what I used.

${N=SwisEntity;M=Node.CustomProperties.NodeRoom}

Thanks Tony, that worked.

I believe I understand it, the reference is linked and more explicit.

I need to work on my SWQL.
