The idea of having separate notification definitions for UP and DOWN is something that
I have logged as a Feature Request.
I think the easiest demonstration of benefit is not so much concerning the %
variables, which do not display at all if not resolved, as with "framing text" that
can then be tailored to the context.
i.e.
The device %h (%a) has gone down
makes perfect sense when restricted to a DOWN alert but not much sense on an UP alert,
where one would tweak the text to:
The device %h (%a) has come up.

Mark,
Thanks! Does the %(service::justup) notification variable have to be used in
conjunction with the Up Alert mode set to Send individual Up alert for the device and
each service that comes up ?
Also, is there a way to send a different formatted SMTPmail notification for the same
device and SMTPmail recipient? For example, you send one e-mail message with different
notification variables for services down and one message type with other variables for
services up?
Looks like this capability exist for the wav sounds notifications.
Regards,
Jon

In version 8.x of WUG there is notification variable called
%(services::justup). It will allow you to see the abbreviated names of all
services that came up with the last poll.

Brian,
This question has been asked a number of times in the past on this forum,
but so far I have yet to see a "Yes, and this is how you do it" response...
Below is the same question I previously asked...
Surely someone knows ?
Thanks...
Jon

Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] Enumerate NT Service Up (Okay, but which one?)
This is probably something simple that I am over looking, but perhaps you
have seen this too?
When receiving an alert for down a NT service, Whatsup will list the service
in both the subject and text part of the e-mail alert. However, when
receiving an alert for when the service comes back up, it does not list the
service. I am using the same e-mail alert for both a down and up
notification.
This happens whether or not some services or all the services come back up.
Any suggestions, other than RTFM or use the online help?
Thanks..
Jon

Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] Notification Message Variables
Currently,
I am using the following variables for my messages:
%n(Display Name)
%V(Names of down services or monitors, followed by the word "services"
%u(Can result in the word "UP, "DOWN", Event name", "SVCUP", or
"SVCDOWN")
at %t (Current Time)
When I have an Ethernet interface go down, I get the full message I'm
looking for, but when the interface comes back up, I only get the Devise
Name with SVCUP- I would like to get which actual service came back up.
Is there a variable for this?
