Server Administrator Alert Execute Action variables

The Execute Action event for OMSA is based on a particular event that is listed in OMSA ... .ie, when you select the "Alert Management" ... "Alert Actions", the execute app is tied to that particular event.

Do you have ITA installed for montoring ? Using ITA you can create alert actions with variables. For example;

$n = system name
$m = message
$d = date
$t = time
$sev = severity
$st = service tag
$at = asset tag
$e = enterprise OID
$sp = specific trap ID
$g = generic trap ID
$sn = event source name
$pkn = package name

Hope that helps.

I was hoping to not create yet another monitoring server, which would be required by ITA if I am correct; it polls servers for status?
We already have a couple of monitoring servers which I am pushing to change to one solution in the future.
I was hoping to send a message to our current monitoring server that there was a problem (preferably with a hint as to the problem).

Thanks for suggestion.

Yes, ITA would be another server you would stand up to monitor the servers.

I'll forward this to some developers to see if there might be some workarounds, or something I'm not aware of. Keep an eye on this thread.

It has been four years, but I wanted to chime in because this thread is still applicable today. IT Assistant has been replaced with OpenManage Essentials, which still requires a separate monitoring server.

The best solution I have found for OpenManage Server Administrator is:
