Setting Custom Message Attributes for a Message Condition
Custom message attributes allow you to add your own attributes to a
message. This means that in addition to the default message attributes
like severity, date, time, object, or application, you can extend VPO
messages with attributes of your choice, for example, the attribute
“Customer” or the attribute “SLA” for service level agreements.
Custom message attributes can only be set for message conditions and
are only available for logfile, VPO interface, and threshold monitor
templates.
Use the Custom Message Attributes window to assign attributes of
your choice to a message. Figure 3-17 on page 127 shows an example of
the Custom Message Attributes window. In this example, a message
matching this condition would display with four additional columns in
the browser windows:
Customer
Device
SLA
