heartbeat email - change subject to down server
  • I know this has been asked somewhere as I've seen the answer but now I cannot find it. I have a heartbeat group set up to send email notifications. However, the email subject is the EventSentry server, not the down server. I have tried changing the variable from $HOSTNAME to $EVENTCOMPUTER but neither seemed to work. How can I have the subject display the name of the server that is no longer ping-able?

    Hi Kathy,

    You can just use $STR1, which is the first insertion string in the heartbeat alerts that we generate. You are right, there is a KB article that explains this further: http://www.eventsentry.com/kb/156.

    We use the following subject for our heartbeat alerts:

    [$STR1]: $STR3 -> $STR4 ($STR5)

    which would look something like this:

    [SERVER-ABC]: OK -> ERROR (100% packets lost)

    I hope this helps.

Howdy, Stranger!
