GET request triggered by alert

Question

Hello,

According to the following page

www.solarwinds.net/.../wwhelp.htm

I can send a GET request to a page with a basic alert. I am trying to set up a trigger based on a syslog message and depending on where that syslog came from (which server) I need to send a GET request to it. Can I do this with what that page is describing? I don't see the option to GET/POST URL under the triggers.

If not, I can possibly do it with a simple batch script, but I need to send the request from where the syslog came from. Can I use a variable?

Something like this "iexplore http://${IP_Address/path.asp}" ?

thanks

for example, I get a syslog from source IP 1.1.1.1 that goes into a sql table. In a script like VB or batch can I pass this variable? for example

I want to request a page from what the source  of that syslog was,so I write a quick one line batch script to send a GET request, but I don't know which server this came from.

"start iexplore http://${IP}/"

I can do this in a body of a message.

Anyway is not a show stopper.

Just kinda of a wondering at this point.

thanks.

Yes I misunderstood - that is not an option within the syslog viewer.

Passing variables- I'm not exactly clear on what you are trying to achieve-

Mark,

I don't see this as an option when configuring alerts for syslog action from the syslog viewer.

Syslog Viewer >  Alerts/Filter Rules > Alerts/Filter Rules tab > Add new rule > Alert Actions tab > Add new action .

BTW, can I pass a Orion variable to a script or a GET request action?
