Hello

is there a placeholder for the channel name in the email body?

My Problem is the Ping Sensor. When it goes down it, there is a hint if either the Ping is completly down or just slow:

Down: Ping 72 1 35 (Ping) Request timed out (ICMP error # 11010)

Slow: Ping 72 1 35 (Ping) 430 msec (Ping Time) is above the error limit of 250 msec

but when it comes up, the message in both cases shows like this: Ping 72 1 74 (Ping) OK (Downtime: 120 s)

so i can not determine which channel was down.

Dear Chris

Which sensor are you using? The ping sensor has only one channel.

You can use the place holder %lastmessage to include the status message of the sensor.

i'm using the default ping sensor.

Just tried %lastmessage, it contains "OK" if the sensor comes up. What i'm searching for is something like "OK (Ping Time)" or "OK (Request timed out)".

Dear Chris

If the sensor status is okay, the message is OK, as the error status cleared. We don't offer the option to include the last error in the current sensor status. In case of error, you can trigger a notification which sends the %lastmessage which then contains the error status message.

You can manually look up previous sensor statuses in the "Log" tab of a sensor.
