Using Universal Device poller in Alerts part 2

OK,

A follow-up question after this thread:

I want to use a universal poller I created which is just a field that returns a numeric value in a trigger condition. If I follow the steps in the above thread, I run into a problem. I want the trigger to happen if the value is returned is 10.

If I alert on " Custom Node Poller " and the trigger the condition I need to have the logic like this. " If the poller named upsEstimatedMinutesRemaining = 10 " trigger the alert. But, to be able to find this custom poller to trigger the condition I seem to need this:

Custom Node Poller -> Unique Name ( Custom Poller ) -> is equal to -> upsEstimatedMinutesRemaining

It would be a lot easier, if you could choose "Custom Poller" then the next popup screen asked you to select which custom poller right then. Needing the unique name part of the steps makes me run out of items to use in the 4 block condition.

How can I find the custom poller without unique name step first?

I may have found the solution.

In my case, it looks like this:

I've not been able to test it on my UPS because it is not on the list of nodes on the custom poller. How can I add more nodes to it? I hoped it was in the properties.

As written that applies to everything that uses that poller I believe, else a simmilar name attribute would work.

This appears good as it is written, it will apply to all nodes in your network that have the poller assigned to them, and if the current value is less than or equal to 10. That you may want to adjust to = 10 but the rest of the alert looks fine.

I have two alerts. One for the 10 min remaining and another for 5 min remaining on the battery. Oddly, I got some alerts of the 5 min remaining over the weekend but none for the 10 min. I'm setting these up to use as triggers to tall our network switches to do some things.
