I have been playing with variables and looking through this forum for days but I can't seem to get a good generic email put together that sends out any real useful information about the trigger.
Ideally I would like the alert to contain the following information.
Application/Component name and affected server
User description from the alarming component
Counter name, instance, category and data
Messages
Response time
Event Logs
I realize all of these are not applicable for all alerts, but it would be nice not to create an advanced alert for each application either. (Ideally I would like to see out of the box alerts as part of the SAM templates avoiding the need to write advanced alerts all together, but that is request for another forum.)
How is everyone else handling this? Surely this work has already been done.
Attached is my current definition for application alerts. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
