Alert Unique ID Number

I'm not aware of any available alert variable that would represent a unique ID for each triggered alert. However, you could create a pseudo unique ID by combining any variable that identifies the affected node/interface/volume with a variable that identifies the alert itself. An example of one such combination could be as NodeID + AlertName.

Other variables identifying nodes/interfaces/volumes could be

- NodeName/Caption/IfName

- InterfaceID/VolumeID

Variables that could represent the alert could be

- AlertDefID

- AlertTriggerTime

It's not pretty but it may just work for you.

Thank you for your post. It seems like this is the kind of thing that could be handled by the Advanced Alert Manager. The alert is fired and when the message is composed, the message or some element of node-alert-message string could be assigned a unique ID.
