HELP with Alert variable for event message

I am seeing the following for a node, what does this mean? The node is a member of the group. I want to get alerts and notifications when any member of the group is (up, down, maintenance, unknown) but I want to know which member....not the group in the alert notification.

I see the following alert for the devices in the group:

Alert Name xMatters - Alert on Group Member VPN Alert Severity Critical Alert Message Warning: Recursive macro variable usage detected Group member Display Name Node Group member name mydevicename.

Help please,

Waverly

The ${N=OrionGroup;M=GroupStatusRootCause} alert variable will produce a list of all group members that are contributing to the group's warning/critical/down status.

I am having this same issue pretty regularly. I even have a ticket in with support but no answers as of yet.

I am using ${N=Alerting;M=AlertMessage} as well. It produces the message below. I have no idea what it means.

"Warning: Recursive macro variable usage detected"
