Alert samples
These samples show how the alert types are used in customizing alerts. For example, protocol status, disk % full, inbound and outbound queue depth, and others.
Substitution characters are available when you create an alert. For example, when you specify an exec, tcl, or email action, the text is scanned for the instance of the %sub characters. If found, then the alert message text replaces the two characters. These substitutions permit the action to identify and get information about the alert that fired.
Right-click menus are available in the exec, tcl, and email actions that contain a list of alert variables. For example, using %A can be used to set up custom messages or replace an alert message. The %A is replaced with the alert message. You can set up custom messages or replace the entire alert message, including % variables for alert values.
