Keywords
Keywords overview
Keywords can be used to specify text in various parts of MonitorMagic. The actual text is
generated at runtime. Keywords can be used in alarm actions. For instance, you can configure an
E-mail alarm action message to contain the actual value of a performance counter by specifying a
keyword. At the moment you define the contents of the message, the actual value of the
performance counter (when the alarm action is executed) is not known. So you cannot specify the
value. Instead, you specify a keyword, representing the performance counter value.
Further, you might want to use keywords to specify text values that change on a regular basis.
Instead of changing the text values themselves, you only need to change the keyword contents.
Example: suppose you want MonitorMagic to send popup messages whenever a rule is triggered.
The destination of these messages is the computer account of the Administrator on duty. This
implies that the actual popup message destination can differ from time to time. Instead of
changing the destination of the popup message alarm actions, specify a keyword s the
destination; for instance, %ADMIN_ON_DUTY_SYSTEM%. Now you only need to change the
contents of the keyword to redirect the popup messages to the right machine.
