Ruckus alert query

Hey Adam,

What about using a Custom Property on the Node itself, and then inserting the email address into that? Then use the Custom Property Variable in the TO field of the Alert Action?

Cheers

I thought about adding another custom field, but then realised we have many already so I started messing with the universal device poller and managed to create a second universal device poller for LocationB, renaming the first to LocationA and I have created a separate alert for each location referring to "RuckusSZAPConnStatusLocationA" and "RuckusSZAPConnStatusLocationB".

Now I have two alerts corresponding to the correct locations but my second alert for LocationB is showing the AP Name as "Disconnect". I'm assuming this is because its picking up the wrong field, or row and is somehow using the connection status instead of the name of the access point in the alert. The alert was just a copy of the original alert but just named with a different Location in it.

${SQL: SELECT Value FROM CustomPollerStatusTable WHERE RowID = '${N=SwisEntity;M=RowID}'}

I figured it out, the universal device pollers needed to be listed like this or else the data that comes out in the alert is in the wrong order, the AP Name was showing as disconnected. Makes sense really.

Well done, I vaguely remember a similar issue when they were set up, the HTML Email Alerts were a nightmare!

I am going to steal those alerts. Although being a nightmare, they look really good! It looks like someone may have spent a while designing those...

Here is the html for the alerts. I meant to do a blog post with this info in it but never got chance.

Ahh brings back some good memories! They were painful to work with as they made lots of changes to get to the final design.
