Checkpoint Failover / haState

So I've been looking at the thread CheckPoint firewall failover alert and UnDP State Change Alert and think I'm following along with first having to create a UnDP first for the haState which I've done and then to create an alert trigger that triggers when that haState is no longer UnDP.

All good thus far. However, I also need to create trigger actions so that we can feed relevant details into our logging system and it is here that I am struggling.

What I now need is the relevant ${N=SwisEntity;xxxxxx} variable that details that.

Best I can find at present is: ${N=SwisEntity;M=Status;F=Status} but this reports either UP or UNKNOWN

Am I barking up the wrong tree and unlikely to find this, in which case I need to rethink the trigger action or am I just not seeing the wood for the trees?

What is the object you are alerting on?

The alert is not the issue unless by trying somethign else I get what we need. Anyway I'm alerting as per the first thread linked ...

i.e.

hastate -- is not eqaul to -- active

The isue is finding a variable in the trigger action to report that to our incident tool.

I understand, the object determines the variables available to you however. The variable that TerryHarding posted above should give you the statistic you need

Perhaps I misunderstand what you mean by object...?

That's the bunny I need - thank you very much.

Not sure why I couldn't find it before.
