special alert trigger section for UnDPs that return multiple results

Resolution

1.  Key is to Start by setting Trigger Condition's Alert on: Custom Table Poller Current Status (Not Custom Poller or Node)

Sample Alert Trigger condition shows diagram of referencing an

'SNMP OID Tables' based on

'Interface Admin Status' Value

enumerated to 'up' and using the

Interfaces ifDesc as a Label = 'eth0'(instead of defaulted 1st column in table).



 

2. Next important step is in the Trigger Action...

In the sample Email action; One must manual 'insert variable' associated to the CustomTablePoller Table as the primary table.. (ie; Not the normal Node table)

I suggest these are best to use for proper information.Manually inserted variables:
 

${N=SwisEntity;M=CustomPollerAssignment.Node.Caption}

${N=SwisEntity;M=CustomPollerAssignment.CustomPoller.UniqueName}

${N=SwisEntity;M=RowLabel} ${N=SwisEntity;M=Status}

${N=SwisEntity;M=DateTime}

 

 

Those are the 2 key references.  Here is an output of the email alert sampled here.
