Ho do you get a Screenshot of a failed step on the email alert?

Oh good lordy this is harder than it used to be. It all comes down to security stuff and where it's being received

I wrote some code for embedding it. That still gets declined by some things and can use up a lot of email space. Otherwise you can link to a location but if it's in SLW it's got to follow auth steps. So like if there's no auth on solarwinds it's easy, if it's secure you're stuck.

I think the best solution involves spinning up a CDN thing somewhere

We really need this as a feature

You were able to get this working before? AFAIK it is not possible. Speaking directly with the lead developer on this one, its not possible or supported. But a popular request. 

Vote on the active feature request here:  Attach screenshot to alert email  

I have voted for this feature and hoping they will get it going soon....since the voting post is over 4 years old....

Got it working now but that's with quite a lot of asterisks. The last version I made stopped working randomly and it was to do with the image format changing without a known reason for the change (perhaps it could be like to do with image size or something)

I'll fetch some code. Previous code from me is in this forum.

It didnt really solve the problem I wanted it to so I'm not sure how reliable it is over time, that's due to the ticketing system we use though.

weston.hood  Right this one does the thumbnail. Trying to rememeber exactly where I got to with the full size one, it's a dramatic understatement to say I had problems with the full size one

weston.hood  can I trade that for a PM about the chat with the Dev?

Code that worked a year ago for almost no time at all and which I think may be environmentally dependant. The screenshot one below is better but they work on the same principle.

Screenshot:

<img src="data:image/png;baseq64, ${SQL: Select REPLACE((SELECT TOP 1 Screenshot

FROM [dbo].[SEUM_StepResponseTime_Detail]

where transactionid = ${N=SwisEntity;M=TransactionId}

and status = 2

order by DateTimeUtc DESC

FOR XML PATH('')),'<Screenshot>','')}">Screenshot</IMG>

SQL -> Binary -> XML -> Base64 -> NVARCHAR(MAX) -> HTML -> PNG

Somewhere I've got something that's halfway between those two. I think I broke down a bit when it still wasn't received right on the other side

hmmm I still get a broken image screenshot.  Is it because I'm stimulating the email and it's not working??

If you havnt already, got to make sure you simulate on a failed transaction as i've got a status = 2 in there.

If you're getting a broken link even on a failed transaction maybe there's another image format change. Try the Thumbnail one first.

Tried the reliable one across a wider range of stuff and I think it may actually be that you can vary the image format based on web player. Maybe.

If the image format it's saved in matches what your macro is happy to accept it can work. Imagine format seems somewhat irregular though. It may be possible to match em up in a larger macro if they were all known.
