We are getting host alert with incomplete subject line(Problem word is missing).Can you let me know where should we make the changes.

Subjectline:
Host DOWN alert for usa0300lv846!

It should be like

PROBLEM Host Alert: usa0300lv846 is DOWN **

Click on the username in the upper right corner, then go to "Notification Messages" and check what you have in the "Host/Service Alert Subject". You should have something like this:

Code: Select all

%type% Host Alert - %hostalias% is %hoststate%

and

Code: Select all

%type% Service Alert - %hostalias%/%service% is %servicestate%

I assume you are missing the "is %hoststate%" part...

OR:
2) Configure notification commands for the contact --> CCM --> Contact in question --> Alert settings.
If the contact is also and XI user:
