up.time's standard alert format should be well suited for most alerting needs. However, you can modify the alert content by adding or removing variables from one of the three custom alert templates. For more information on the variables, see Custom Alert Format Variables
There are three custom alert formats:
Small Template Contains the date and time of the alert, as well as the names and status of the service and host for which the alert was generated. This corresponds to the template used for pager alerts, as shown below:
$SERVICESTATE$ Alert $DATETIME$ Type: $TYPE$ Service: $SERVICENAME$ ($SERVICESTATE$) Host: $HOSTNAME$ ($HOSTSTATE$) |
Medium Template
Contains the information in the small template, as well as an expanded subject line, the type of notification, and output from the Service Monitor. This corresponds to the template used for email alerts, as shown below:
up.time Alert - $SERVICENAME$ -> $SERVICESTATE$ Notification type: $TYPE$ $DATETIME$ Host: $HOSTNAME$ ($HOSTSTATE$) Service:$SERVICENAME$ Service State: $SERVICESTATE$ Output: $OUTPUT$ |
Long Template
Contains the information in the medium template, as well as the status of the host, as shown below:
up.time Alert - $DATETIME$ - $SERVICENAME$ -> $SERVICESTATE$ Date: $DATE$ Time: $TIME$ Date & Time: $DATETIME$ Hostname: $HOSTNAME$ Host State: $HOSTSTATE$ Service: $SERVICENAME$ Service State: $SERVICESTATE$ Notification Type: $TYPE$ Output: $OUTPUT$ |
