Insert Variable page automatically closes when configuring alert actions

Overview

The Insert Variable page automatically closes after clicking Insert Variables when configuring alert actions.

Environment

• NPM 11.5 and later
• SAM 6.2 and later

Cause 

This occurs when there are no objects added to Orion for which you are trying to alert on.

Resolution

Add an object for the type of alert you are creating. For example:

• Add a node in Orion for a node alert.
• Add a SAM application to monitoring for an application alert.
