I would like to include some details of the child objects for when a parent node goes down.
Is there a SQL statement or another way to get a list of child names? even just a child node count would be useful
child node as in groups and dependencies or as in child objects such as volumes and interfaces?
Alert Variable Documentation
for nodes the statusdescription field will enumerate the status and any problem child objects. Groups and applications have similar fields.
yes important distinction.. Child nodes as in dependencies is what I was after
if you don't mind some sql then use the view containers_alertsandreportsdata to provide you group status root cause for that node ID. I have found the logic that they put into that far easier
