On our CellPhone SMTP pages, we use the following %n %v %u at %t %a %1 %d %S %(services::justup)
We put the location in the first description field. This makes for an alert that looks similar to this: WhatsUP(DOWN)SC TL407A DOWN at 23:26:49 129.73.200.28 File App Svr 01/16/2005 Timed Out This tells us that the message came from WhatsUP, it is a DOWN notification, from SCTL407A (Node Name) DOWN at Time, IP address, DescriptionField1, Date, Service Type Down. This fits nicely on a cell phone screen. This example doesn't show it, but the %(services::justup) field is useful when you have the node set to notify you as each service comes up so that way you know what just came up, in the event of multiple service failures. As you already know, the default looks similar to this: NT Server LDOA307A DiskSpaceUnder10%onD SVCDOWN at 13:21:31 Address: 136.157.244.107 Info 1: File Svr Common Info 2: Date: 08/23/2005 Status: Active and responding ( 0) Svcs: DiskSpaceUnder10%onD Notes: Hope this helps.
