"Alert Sharing" tab in NPM 10.4?

Just installed 10.4, and enjoying some features (network device hardware health, tabbed node displays, drop-down custom fields); getting used to others (no more custom properties utility!); and trying to suss out others.

In that last category I give you the "Alert Sharing" tab in the Advanced Alert utility.

I've dug around the manuals and here on thwack, but can't see any mention of it.

What am I msising and, more importantly, what is this?

Thanks!

My first thought was that is may replace the need to add a NetPerfMon Event Log action, but that's wild speculation...and of course when you click the "What products can i share data with?" link it takes you to a "this page does not exist" error...so...

LOL....and in the help manual, under Sharing Advanced Alerts it says "Sharing alerts feature", and that is all.

Since there's been no response on these boards, I logged this as ticket 411411. I'll update this thread with whatever I find out.

Hi people,

As mentioned in the KB which breneske posted:

This tab is present both in AAM and BAM and is used for configuration the content of the new alert notifications (they can include for example parsed macros for specific object) introduced in NPM 10.4. These notifications will be in future used for Alert central product. Currently OrionSDK users can subscribe for these notifications via SWQL studio and SWIS API.
