Configuring Action on Alerts
Figure 5-5. Configure Actions on Alerts Page
If your program requires information about the event (for example, device
name and alert severity for inclusion in an e-mail message to you), use one of
the following substitution parameters within the command line:
■ $(dev) - Substitute the name or IP/IPX address of the device that generated
the event. The name is usually the domain name.
■ $(addr) - Address (IP or IPX) of the device that generated the event.
■ $(desc) - Short description text generated for the event that describes the
event.
■ $(xdesc) - Long description text generated for the event that describes the
event.
■ $(stat) - Severity of the event as one of the following strings: “Informa-
tional”, “Warning”, or “Critical”.
■ $(evtid) - Identifier string for the event, for example, the trap OID of an
SNMP trap.
■ $(name) - Name of the event. Event names are assigned to each type of
event as a way to uniquely identify events instead of using event identi-
fiers.
■ $(url) - URL generate for the event.
Click on Save Settings. The program(s) run whenever an alert of the specified
severity is logged to the Alerts page.
