Standardisation of Variables Across All Products

Hello,

This is something that has caught me out quite a few times.  For example sometimes NodeName will be ${NodeName} then othertimes it will be ${Node.NodeName} etc.  It would be nice to have these standardised across all products and also available for use in scripts and other templates (eg Powershell only supports ${IP} and ${CREDENTIAL})

I was wanting to pass ${Community} ${AgentPort} among others for creating a Powershell OID monitor to translate textual values to numerical so that Warning/Critical alerts can be setup based on numerical value.

Thanks,

Peter

  • It has been 7 years and looks like it is still not in place. We are planning to enable tons of alerts and integrate it with third party systems. It is annoying that I cannot create a single template and apply it on all. The variable (For ex: IP) is different for hardware, generic node, etc.

    Will I have to find what the variables look like for each type of alert and then create as many conditions as the alerts? That does not seem efficient...!

    In one of my Truesight integration ${IP} did not work...
