Hi,
this is my context:
i have a switch, for each interface i have a description that indicate the patch panel position or the end device connected.
this is my goal:
i'd like to have on Netxms for each interface a field that contains the description and when an up/down alarm for the interface is raised, i'd like to have the description field inclused in the alarm mail.
I think to realize this using the comment field of the interface or adding a custum attribute for the interface...and until here no problem...but, how i can include the comment or the custum attribute in the alarm mail?
If i add a custum attribute, in the event manager panel, when i configure the the "SYS_IF_DOWN" event, can i get the custom attribute using the "$number" format (in other word, the classic way for use the parameter in the message string) ?
Thank you,
Giovanni
Hi!
You can include custom attribute in mail and/or alarm message by using %{name} macro. For example, if you have custom attribute named additionalInfo, you can use %{additionalInfo} to insert value of this attribute into message text.
Inserting comments into message is a bit more complicated - you have to create script in script library, like this:
return $node->comments;
and then call it using %[script_name] macro.
