Notification Placeholders

Votes:

0

Hi,

Our structure of groups currently has Client > City > SiteName with each of these being a group. Devices live in the SiteName group with sensors attached. When a notification is triggered, %group only gives the SiteName group associated with the device/sensor. Is there a way to return the entire Group stack so all parent groups are included in the notification?

Cheers

Sensors only know their direct parent group as a property. Then they also know their parent Probe. Any group levels between these two are not known to sensors, and are not iterated through for performance reasons, when notifications are triggered. Which is why there are no according placeholders for this. You could however put the city in the comments or tags to have it disclosed in the notification.
