Alert variable question

mandg Nov 10, 2008 1:29 PM

I'm looking for a variable in NPM advanced alerts that I can add into the subject line of alert reset messages that show total down time. So, something that can calcuate the time delta of when the system originally went down until the system comes back up (status changes).IE: Alert: ${NodeName} is ${Status} and was down for ${WhatTheHeckGoesHere?}I've reviewed the documentation and this isn't jumping out at me.

I'm pretty certain such a variable does not exist. You'll probably have to dabble with SQL in order to get this information.

  hmm- Drats! Not what I was hoping to hear.
  
  Are there any SQL experts in here that like a challenge? Not real sure how to design such a query.

    From the Solarwinds variable docs there should be an ${AlertStartTime} and an ${AlertEndTime}

    The AlertStartTime and End variables may be start or quick workaround.
