Adding/Modifying Message Templates
The message content for Empirix OneSight alerts is configured
using text template files. Empirix OneSight is shipped with default
message template files for the various Alert types (e.g., e-mail,
pager, SNMP trap), but you can add your own message templates in
OneSight to further customize your alert notifications. This can be
useful for the following reasons:
You can customize alert content to generate messages containing
only the information that is meaningful to the alert notification
recipient. Alert messages can be customized for each configured
action, so a single alert condition can now be configured to
trigger, for instance, different e-mail text for each recipient of the
alert notification.
You can customize alert content so that it is formatted optimally
for the intended alert devices (e.g., email, pager, phones, etc).
You can customize e-mail alerts to include direct links to the
Empirix OneSight Status and Reports pages. This can be useful
for OneSight Administrators and Operators.
OneSight selects an appropriate default template based on the type
of action you are configuring.
Customization of alert message text is accomplished using
OneSight defined substitution variables. These same substitution
variables can also be passed to Scripting Actions in both the
Parameters and Environment Settings fields.
