broken macros in 8.0.1 advanced alerts

noahkweis

I am unable to get ${IP} to work in advanced alerts. Works just fine in basic alerts (copied and pasted same email msg from basic to advanced just to be sure).

Here's an example from an email during my testing:

ALERT: SW-ALERT-TEST-R2 ${IP}
STATUS: Down.

This is the only one I've come across so far, but I was wondering if anyone else has come across others like this so that I don't have to keep stumbling into them.

I'm having the same sorts of issues (posted in another thread) when my vales for ${inBps}, ${OutBps} and ${Status} do not look the way they are suppose to. In V7 and used in a basic alert they work fine.

Try ${IP_Address}.

That worked. Missed the part of the variable manual that says that variables are database fields.

Ok Floyd....what can I do with my alert issues? Any other variables I should try?

It looks like the advanced alerts do not use macros but use database fields as variables instead - this explains why you get values 1,2 etc for the variable ${Status} as this is what is stored in the 'Status' field in the database, same for other fields that store numeric values...

Anyone form Solarwinds confirm this?

Thanks

Yes, the advanced alerts use the database field name rather than a macro. There are a few supported macros that include:

"DATETIME", "DATE TIME", "DATE/TIME"
"DATE"
"LONGDATE", "LONG DATE"
"MEDIUMDATE", "MEDIUM DATE"
"SHORTDATE", "SHORT DATE"
"TIME"
"LONGTIME", "LONG TIME"
"MEDIUMTIME", "MEDIUM TIME"
"SHORTTIME", "SHORTTIME"
"DOW", "DAY OF WEEK", "DAYOFWEEK"
"D", "DAY"
"DD"
"ABREVIATEDDOW", "ABREVIATED DAY OF WEEK", "ABREVIATEDDAYOFWEEK"
"LOCALDOW", "LOCAL DAY OF WEEK", "LOCALDAYOFWEEK"
"MONTH", "M"
"MM"
"MMM", "ABBREVIATEDMONTH", "ABBREVIATED MONTH"
"MMMM", "MONTHNAME", "MONTH NAME"
"LOCALMONTHNAME", "LOCAL MONTH NAME"
"DAYOFYEAR", "DAY OF YEAR"
"YEAR2", "YEAR 2", "YY"
"YEAR4", "YEAR 4", "YEAR", "YYYY"
"H", "HOUR"
"HH"
"N"
"Nn", "MINUTE"
"S"
"Ss", "SECOND"
"AMPM", "AM/PM"
"CR", "CRLF"
"PCADDRESS", "SERVERIP", "IPADDRESS", "TFTPSERVER", "LOCALIP"
"HOSTNAME", "LOCALHOSTNAME"
"CAPTION"
"SYSTEMNAME", "SYSNAME"
"SYSTEMLOCATION", "SYSLOCATION"
"SYSTEMCONTACT", "SYSCONTACT"
"DESCRIPTION", "SYSDESCR", "SYSTEMDESCRIPTION", "SYSDESCRIPTION"

What do I need to get InBps/OutBps and up/down to work? The macros won't in the advance alert but will in the basic one.

Can you publish all the variables??

Thanks.

I've tried "CAPTION", but it always shows up as ${Caption} in the email instead of the value of the CAPTION field. Is there an alternative to CAPTION? I've tried NodeName, FullName, ObjectName, but they all show as "APPLICATION NAME on NODE NAME". I'd like to get my application alerts to be able to display just the name of the node that is running the application.
