  • 1.  Rich Email Notifications with Contextual Data

    Posted Jul 12, 2017 09:35 AM

    Action - New Send SMTP Mail action has a listing of dynamic fields that can be added to the subject and body of an email.

     

    If you click on the ? box

    You get a list of all of the dynamic tokens, in this question focusing on the "$(Problem_Detail_List_Only) field.

     

    When an alert has "Notify by individual metric" the problem detail list only should have a single row

    Problem_Detail_List_Only    

    NormalSuperDomain|abcef001|AIXAgent|PerfMonAgent|vmstat|Memory:computational pages %93

     

    I would like to use this as my subject in my email but since it is a list, the replacement does not occur and I get the following:

    TEST vmstat - memory - computational pages % - ${Problem_Detail_List_Only}

     

    Is there anyway to index into the list and only use the first row of a list or be able to reference the text only by index?

     

    So, like

    ${Problem_Detail_List_Only}[1,1] = Normal

    ${Problem_Detail_List_Only}[1,2] = SuperDomain|abcef001|AIXAgent|PerfMonAgent|vmstat|Memory:computational pages %

    ${Problem_Detail_List_Only}[1,3] = 93

     

    Or

    ${Problem_Detail_List_Only}[1] = Normal SuperDomain|abcef001|AIXAgent|PerfMonAgent|vmstat|Memory:computational pages % 93

     

     

    Thank you,

    Billy

    Hi Billy:

    This was asked for you internally. A Knowledge Doc JUST got published on this -- TEC1902607

    This is the response given by Engineering

     

    Here are the list tokens (potentially produce lists or multiple lines) that are not allowed in Subject field:
    Alert_Description
    Problem_Detail_List
    Problem_Detail_List_All
    Problem_Detail_List_Only
    URL_Detail_List
    URL_Detail_List_All
    URL_Detail_List_Only

     

    Thanks
