I would like to add a ${VARIABLE} in the "Alert Name" column for Advanced Alerts/Active Alerts. Is this possible? If not I would like to request this as a feature enhancement...

Could you explain the problem you're trying to solve? The more we understand about your problem and the full usage scenario, the easier it is to prioritize the request.
Hi I would like show the ${variable} in the message field for Advance Active alerts much like "basic" alerts
Have you checked out page 266 of the Admin Guide - http://www.solarwinds.com/support/Orion/docs/OrionAdministratorGuide.pdf

Hi
As bshopp said, the table which contains variables is supposed work for advanced alerts, you can use those variables in the message fields.
I wonder what is the problem when you use those variables when alert is showing up?
And I think the content of those variables for advanced alerts may with different style or format. It can perform the similar message content but not exactly the same I guess.
Best regards,Jason
I came across this post because I am having a similar issue. I want to be able to use variables in the Alert Name. I can and do use dozens of variables in the alert triggers and alert actions, but whenever I attempt to include any ${variables} in the Alert Name, it simply passes that text back out.
Example:
Volume Alert on ${Nodes.Caption} in the "Name of Alert" field. That just returns the same exact text, without pulling the variable information.
