ipMonitor 9 tags

 Yes,  Alert actions are fully customizable using tokens (dynamic content) - see page 165

www.solarwinds.com/.../ipMonitorAdministratorGuide.pdf 

I understand that monitor tags can be used but I am specifically referring to other tags (e.g. device tags). What I'm doing today is creating a tag on each monitor called "FACILITY" and populating that with the name of the facility that the device is in (I also do the same for other tags like the device's asset tag, make, model, etc.). I have to do that for each monitor that's a member of that device (fortunately mass edit makes this easier to do). It makes more sense to me to just create the same tag(s) on the device once and pull that into the alert email with a token (e.g. something like %devicetag[...]%). That way any new monitors I add to that device would inherit the tag(s) in any alert that it might generate.

Thanks,

I'll have to look into this for you but you might could try using %monitor[...]% using the popup XML feature to add additional values or even %monitortag[FACILITY]%

Peter,

Thanks for the update. Hopefully the suggestion was well received at your meeting . It's great to know that you are actively participating in the forums and are listening to your user base. I'm more than happy to post suggestions\comments as I come across things.

Peter,

I am using ipMonitor v10 and it appears this is still an issue, were we can still not Mass Edit Device level tags, but only Monitor level. Is this still a Roadmap item? I would like to add to the user count for this feature.
