Advanced alerts and Universal Devices Pollers

I work for a large MSP and we have many custom pollers built to monitor power equipment and infrastructure.

I have configured alerts to report when events happen but I'd like to include the value that the OID is reporting.  I assume I will need to do this via SQL but i'm really not sure how to write that sort of query.

any help is appreciated.

  • jkovarick,

    If you've set up an alert that is using Custom Node Poller as the "Type of Property to Monitor" on the trigger condition tab,  you should be able to use a variable that's available under the "CustomPollerStatus" section to insert the value from the polller.

  • You should be able to do that by using a variable in your trigger action to pull in the value. Is this what you are referring to?

  • Ah, kweise and I were on the same page it seems. One note, if you are manually entering the values in there, make sure you use the { and not parentheses. It can be fairly small and difficult to tell. One time I accidentally dropped parentheses in and was driving myself crazy as to why the variable wasn't being pulled in.
