Alert subject line
Would like to receive the alerts subject line with the state of "Up" or "Down" instead of "0" or "1"
Forum Discussion
Hi Raz - what context is this in? Off the top of my head, I cant think of any alert subjects that have just numerical status....
Hi
the subject of the alert is:
active | warn | A10-Red | 172.16.30.179 | ServerStatus | 2
The body contains the following:
Host: A10-Red
Datasource: VirtualServers-172.16.30.179
Datapoint: ServerStatus
Level: warn
Start: 2015-06-10 22:51:04 PDT
Duration: 0h 0m
Value: 2
Status: active
Reason: ServerStatus != 1
Ah - you've got a customized Alert Subject line that is used for all alerts.
You could override that for this specific alert, and in the datapoint ServerStatus in A10AX_VirtualServers datasource, set the Alert Subject Template to be:
##LEVEL## : ##GROUP## | ##HOSTNAME## | ##INSTANCE## | DOWN
Given that this alert will trigger only when the virtual server is not up, hard coding in the Down value will work. (Although it was also say that on the alert clears.)
There is not a way to generally lookup a datapoint value and convert to a text string at the moment, unfortunately...
