Notification variablesΒΆ

When adding an action to a notification profile, you have the option to add variables in the notification message. These variables allow you to customize the content of the notification message and are replaced with actual values when the notification is sent.

%m is the default variable when setting up an action to a notification profile. This means that the notification will show the message that appears in the Alarm Monitor page which includes information specific to the event.
