No Device Name or IP Address in Syslog Alarm

[cslayton]

I have created a Syslog Alarm that I receive via email, but I’m not receiving any information that tells me which device the alarm came from.  I have enabled every keyword.  Here is what I currently have configured for the Action Override:

$alarmName    The name of the alarm.
$alarmSource    The component (such as a device) that raised the alarm.
$alarmSourceName    
$alarmSubcomponent    The subcomponent (such as an interface) that raised the alarm.
$severity    The alarm severity.
$type    The value returned is always "Alarm".
$trigger    Indicates whether the trigger was a trap or event.
$server    The NetSight server IP address.
$time    The date and time when the event or trap occurred.
$message    The event message.
$eventType    The event type (event or trap).
$eventSeverity    The event severity.
$eventCategory    The event category.
$eventTitle    The event message.
$deviceIP    The IP address of the device that is the source of the alarm.
$deviceIpCtx    The device IP and Context.
$deviceNickName    The device nickname.
$deviceBootProm    The BootProm version on the device.
$deviceFirmware    The firmware version on the device.
$deviceStatus    The device status.
$snmp    The device SNMP credentials
$sysName    The system name.
$sysLocation    The system location.
$sysContact    The system contact.
$sysDescr    The system description
$sysUpTime    The system uptime.
$chassisId    The chassis ID.
$chassisType    The chassis type.
$trapName    The trap name.
$trapEnterprise    The Enterprise for this trap (Extreme, snmpTraps, rmonEventsV2, dot1dBridge) as defined in the trapd.conf file.
$trapOid    The trap OID.
 

The ones that are working are:

$alarmName    The name of the alarm.
$alarmSource    The component (such as a device) that raised the alarm.

$type    The value returned is always "Alarm".
$trigger    Indicates whether the trigger was a trap or event.
$server    The NetSight server IP address.
$time    The date and time when the event or trap occurred.

$eventType    The event type (event or trap).
$eventSeverity    The event severity.

For completeness, I have done a short test. With 8.5.1.60 both the IP and the name is transferred.

Ok,

In Version 8.3 the mentioned problem occures. Therefore update your XMC to the latest version and test again, please.

Cslayton,

there was an issue with source hostname and Ip as alarm source. This issue was fixed with version 8.5.0. Maybe your problem is related to the same issue.

What version of XMC are you using?
