Last Result is misleading on alerts

Votes:

0

On the alert emails, there is a Last Result text that corresponds I think with the Primary Channel's last result. So if I have Server A and the sensor is Disk Free and is monitoring drives C: D: and E: and the D: drive gets low on space, I will get an e-mail saying "Last Result 78% (Free Space C:)". The next row says "Last Message 14% (Free Space D:) is below the warning limit of 20%". I think the "Last Result" on multi channel sensors is very confusing. Can you make that the Last result of the channel that generated the alert in the first place?

Hi there,

You can remove the %lastvalue placeholder to avoid the confusion. The message is always created by the sensor itself and not from the channel. This is why it's not possible to enter a placeholder for a channel.

Best regards, Felix
