Trap Viewer - How to add the rule name to an alert

We are still on 2019.2 -NPM12.5 so are still on trap viewer. Does anyone know if there is a way that when a trap is triggered, if in the action we perform we can send the RuleName as a variable? Been trying to work out if its possible, but I can't find any info at all

Regards

For an advanced alert the variable is ${N=Alerting;M=AlertName}, Maybe try ${AlertName} for a Trap

@bobmarley Tried that, it doesn't work

After some digging I found the full list and the alert name isn't in there. Link is below.

Looks like you will need to manually enter the alert name into your messages.

Yes I'd found that too, shame that there dosn't seem to be a way to link the alert name into what the payload of said alert is.

Oh well back to the drawing board and manually entering the alert name.

Thanks @bobmarley
