Wanting to use a Single Alert Action for Node and Application Alerts

t3chno

Is there a way to use Node Custom Properties within a single Alert Action to avoid duplicating the action? Action is for a HTTP POST to an ITSM system,

It appears I would need to split the Actions out as neither the following will work in both a Node and an Application Alert.

${N=SwisEntity;M=CustomProperties.Client_ID}

${N=SwisEntity;M=Application.Node.CustomProperties.Client_ID}

I would say, no you can't. But you probably can create a custom SQL/SWQL variable that fixes this but with a lot of coding. 

The variables depend on where you "stand". If you are alerting on a node, you point out the path to the target from the node. If you are alerting on an application, you point out the path to the target information from the application. The paths are different, therefor the variables are different. 

I will need to create several actions with variables according to the element you are alerting on.
