Change email address in action profiles

Post by hamoja »

I have a whole bunch of alert profiles and want to know if there is way of changing them one shot without having to edit each one which I find time time consuming.

thanks

Sorry, you should edit each profile manually. Before you start editing, I would suggest you a trick. As you know, "Send e-mail" action allows you to use macro variables: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... .htm#macro
For each test, you should specify certain email address (or more than one destination addresses separating with a semicolon), for example, into "Comment" input box. Then you should create an action profile with Send E-mail action and specify %CommentLine1% variable into "To" input box of Action Properties window. So, now you may assign such action profile to any test, and HostMonitor will send e-mails to the recipient, which is specified within "Comment" field of the test.
If all alerts in certain folder should be sent with one certain subject, you may specify the text for subject into Folder Comment input box and use %FCommentLine% variable in "Action Propertis" window.

Also you may use global macro variables: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... m#udvmacro
