Good Morning.
As a newbie to NPM, I am needing help. I need to create an email alert that will tell me when a node goes down (specifically, any of our cisco switches) and will tell me in the email which node it is.
Thanks in advance for the help.
That should not be the case if you are running the latest version of NPM. In any case, you can open the advanced alert manager utility on the npm server, edit the node down alert and edit it's email trigger action. You can then insert ${Caption} variable in the subject and/or body of the email. You can also include other variables using the 'insert variable' button.
Just complete the setting, 'initial alerting setup' section. The default alert 'alert me when a node goes down' should take care of the rest.
I have the email alert setup, but it does'nt tell me which specific node is down, only that there is a node down. I need to be able to see which one in an email when I am not on that network.
The Caption variable was exactly what I needed. Thank you.
