Dirk, 

                Thanks for your reply. 

 

I didn’t realize that 5.1 was no longer supported.  I do know that 
version 6.1 is  the latest version and I have tried it in the demo version  of 
that release and the same results are occurring. 

 

>From the SA manual  (version 1675) 

Custom Fields (Setup Dialog Box) 

You can create up to seven fields to hold information and then use these fields 
in your Visual Basic scripts or as variables in messages. The output for the 
custom fields appears as sa_custom_value_1, sa_custom_value_2, and so forth, in 
the file or database logs. 

SA manual (version 2200) makes the same statement. 

 

I interrupt  the above  “variables in messages”  as telling me that 
I can use the custom fields in messages. Granted I don’t  see SMTP alerts 
in that statement, however SMTP is a message none the less.   

 

Maybe I have mis-interrupted the manual?? 

Craig

First of all do know that v5.x isn't available nor supported anymore. 

 

And were did you see in the doc that you can include those within the SMTP 
alerts?  I don't see that within the doc.

Subject: [SA-list] Custom Fields In SMTP Alert 

 

I am currently using SA version  5.0.1675 (enterprise) and am trying to  
include  the contents of a few of my  custom fields  in an  SMTP alert. 

I have tried numerous variations of the sa_custom_value_1 tag and it appears 
that it is not being parsed when the message is being generated. 

According to the manual, the custom  fields  can be included in messages. 

Can anyone tell me what I am missing? 

 

Here is an example of the custom field I want to include: 

Custom 1: 

Field Caption = Location Name 

Field Name In Database = LocationName 

 

Here is  a sample of the SMTP message that I am generating. 

Message: 

%p is reported as being %s at %y , %z 

Check Performed: %C 

%r 

<sa_custom_value_1>   (custom value should be here). 

 

Thanks, 

Craig
