If you want hostname in email subject line - just add: $Data/Context/DataItem/ManagedEntityDisplayName$ or $Data/Context/DataItem/ManagedEntityPath$
To the notification email format? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Orlebeck, Geoffrey Sent: Friday, February 20, 2015 6:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [msmom] RE: Adding Variable to Notification Subject Line: When we receive an email alert from our 2007 SCOM infrastructure it comes in as: "Operations Manager Critical Error Alert on DOMAIN\SERVER" but I cannot find a way to mimic that in 2012, even though I have the same setup as 2007. ***Edit*** Just revisited the SCOM 2007 email alert and now I feel like a fool. I thought this alert was coming from SCOM 2007 but is actually our MOM 2005 environment generating it. At least it's Friday... And per your article, that is exactly what I have found in my trial and error: any attempt at placing a variable in the alert name just results in the variable text being passed in the email. The other admins will just have to learn how to deal with not seeing the hostname in the subject line. :) Have a good weekend.

End goal is to input the hostname into the subject line for a couple alerts. It doesn't seem possible from what I am reading. I even came across a PowerShell script for kicking off a customized email alert, but it doesn't appear to address the subject line. Is it just not possible? Full Disclosure in case there is a better way: We want to alert on Event ID 6008 because our VM servers will complete an unplanned reboot before the heartbeat/health service check fails and alerts. I have done some testing on a single test VM server and if the Heartbeat is set to 15 seconds or less, it will trip the alert. However, not sure of all the processing/network overhead that would cause. So as a workaround, if we can just get an alert on Event ID 6008, that's sufficient, but in our 2007 environment the hostname is inserted in the subject line. Tried mirroring that without success, so turning here. Any ideas/thoughts are appreciated. Thank you. Confidentiality Notice: This is a transmission from Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula.
