Orion node variables in Syslog and Trap alerts

Hi

We recently set up syslog alerting and we are getting a pretty long stream of alerts into our NOC's email address.

The problem is, they aren't very useful at all because of one single issue.

I can't tell where they come from.

IP address is great, but it takes some digging.

From what I have read node variables in alerts should be available.
I don't have the time/resources available to do a hosts file or reverse dns mappings for all of our devices.

I have tried ${SystemName), ${SysName}, and a couple others, and nothing seems to work.

Any insights into this?

Would make syslog alerting so much more valuable to us. emoticons_happy.png
