Tabular UDP and Advanced Alert message formatting

Question

I have been playing with tabular universal device pollers to show multiple PSU status in Nortel 8600 switches. I have created an advanced alert which triggers when the status is 'down' and works as expected, however I am struggling with the formatting of the alert message. The nature of the poller means that I get three values returned when really I just want to know which of the PSU has an issue.

There are two variables:

${CustomPollerStatus.RowID} - 1, 2, 3

${CustomPollerStatus.Status} - up, down, empty

As there doesn't look to be any way to do this I thought I would use a table in the alert message instead.

I would be happy(ish) if I could produce something like the below (in html) but I need to split the variables in to three -  is it possible to transform the alert variable? Please let me know if I'm missing something obvious!

_______________________________

| PSU No.  |     1     |     2     |     3     |

| Status     |     up    |  down  |     up   |

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

If you upgrade to NPM 10.3 you have the option for 'Custom Node Table Poller' within the advanced alert type of property drop down. You can then add something like ${label} is ${value} in the email so you output PSU1 is down.
