which variables actually work with TRAPS and UnDP?
i'm trying to pass variables with Advanced Alerts, but i'm batting zero.
${Caption} ${NodeName} ${IP_Address} and on and on...what can actually be used?????
I assume you've looked at the list in the Admin Guide. What's the problem you're having?
Yes, I’ve reviewed the Admin Guide and tried many variables.
The thing is I use this very same email methodology for other things which are working. There seems to only be an issue passing variables from SNMP TRAPS and UnDP.
For instance, I just used these variables from an SNMP TRAP and this is what I got:
3/24/2009 8:30 AM - ${Caption} - ${NodeName} - ${IP_Address} - ${Status} - ${AlertName}
As you can see, the only one translated was ${DateTime}.
So that is what caused my question “what works” for SNMP TRAPS and UnDP events?
this is pretty straightforward and should be working...
should i open a support ticket for this?
thanks.
Yes, please.
Support Case is opened. thanks.
In my case, my variables are translated properly only when the Alert is actually triggered on it's own. My issue is when I try to test them using the Test application - then I get screwy/random results.
When testing UnDP alerts, I see the value for the first UnDP value it comes across, instead of the value assigned in the alert.
Set up UnDP pollers for Temp, PRI (total channels, channel status, and some others). When I test the Temp alert, the message displays 'Idle' (from Channel Status) instead of Temp...
I'm having the same problem...the Admin Guide lists a gazillion ways to translate Date and Time, but only a very few of any other variables, which are listed in "Other".....(and really none of these are useful when you want to know the NodeName, etc.)...it would be nice to know if we could refer to another list of variables.
