We have an in-house website that contains information about all servers and any special support instructions (who to contact, special login, etc.). Each server has an individual URL unique to itself in our website. I am trying to figure out a way to populate that URL into an alert when it is generated from a server object. I'm not even sure where to start as I see custom fields within specific monitors, but this is at the server object level. So, in theory, if a service is running on Server1 and it stops, raise an alert and within the body of the email have the URL we specify somewhere in SCOM for Server1 to be included.
Is this really possible? Or is it going to have to be a scenario of creating a Management Pack and using registry values or some other way to uniquely identify the information? And if we go down that path, can we create a variable, akin to "$Data[Default='Not Present']/Context/DataItem/AlertName$" that can be populated inside the E-Mail channel? I've read a few different blogs about extending classes and such, just wasn't sure if I *had* to do that for this sort of functionality.
