Hi all,

When using a Correlation rule to generate a new alarm, this article seems to suggest that you can use placeholders to generate the value text for the new alarm.

It doesn’t work for me. Here’s my New Alarm action:

And here’s the new alarm that it generated

i.e. it doesn’t seem to replace the placeholder with the actual value.

Can anyone see what I did wrong?

Thanks.

Hi Trong, Have you tried by also placing square brackets around the field objects?
[parameter([field(dmaid)], [field(eid)], 100)]

Hi Trong,

Be default the value of the alarm is not evaluated to replace such placeholders (for performance reasons). You need to specifically enable this option ‘Evaluate Alarm’, as also mentioned in help article you referenced, 4th bullet point of step 6.

Did you enable this option?

I hope this helps.

Thanks Bert, I didn’t have the “Evaluate value” box checked.
