That guide does help with the initial setup, but there are still a lot of holes.  For example, my alerting works well but I can't quite get the description in the alert to be all that descriptive.  I am using the %!AlertHostname!%, %!AlertTimestamp!%, and %!AlertMessage!% variables but are there more that could be used?  All of my alet emails that are sent out with the description Device Primary Health Critical.   I would like to configure an alert for all critical events, that would actually send out the alert or at least give you an idea as to where the general area of the alert lies (power supply, RAM, HDD).  ITA was great at doing this, but I can't quite figure it out with DMC.
Hi all, I'm trying to figure out how everything works in this new management console using my 600+ page documentation pdf, but I still have quite a few questions. Hope someone out there can help.  -I can't figure out the alerting at all. I have about 30 "test" devices and two of them have alerts but offer no info as to what the issue is. The description says "Device Primary Health Warning" and I can Acknowledge, Resolve, or Change Severity...but why would I want to do that if I don't know what the problem is? -Is there a way to login to the altiris agent on individual machines for status similar to the way we could with OpenManage? ([URL] -How do I setup alerts to run? I'd like to try and test email and snmp alerts, but I'm not sure what they would even say since the current alerts in the console don't give an information. I could not figure this out using the documentation. The only mention of email alerts that I found was related to hierarchies. If anyone can shed some light on to these issues, I would appreciate the help. Thanks, Selym
