Including last value in an Alert

[oliverm]

Hi,

I have a "catch all" alert that basically emails us when any HIGH trigger fires off.

Is there something I can put in the alert to say what the last value was ?

So, if its alerting coz of a web response code, to include the status code, if its alerting due to a lack of memory on a monitored box include the last value of the free mem...etc

Catch all action

Yes, I use a catch all action as well as some individual actions. Here is the macro that I use for the catch all.

{HOSTNAME}:{TRIGGER.KEY} status: {{HOSTNAME}:{TRIGGER.KEY}.last(0)}

This will give messages like

mysystem: system.cpu.load[,avg1] status: 5.03
or
mysystem: proc.num[httpd] status: 0
or
mysystem: web.test.fail[ShifterService] status: 1

Hope this helps
