Current datetime in alerts

[Peter Cosman]

Does anyone know if there is a way to include the current datetime in the mail body of the alerts in Cloverleaf 20.1 ?

The only way I see is doing it in tcl but maybe there is a parameter like the %A to include the current datetime without having to write tcl code.

It would be usefull for email alerts because there can be a delay between mail delivery and triggering of the alert. Having the exact datatime of the alert trigger in the mail body would be very interesting.

Try $V.. It may be more than you want 🙂

<tbody class=”tbody”>

<td class=”entry nocellnorowborder” headers=”d138757e49 “><var class=”keyword varname”>%V</var>
<td class=”entry nocellnorowborder” headers=”d138757e52 “>Current value
<td class=”entry nocellnorowborder” headers=”d138757e55 “>The <var class=”keyword varname”>%V</var> characters are replaced with either the current source value or a keyed list of sources and values. If the current value of a source is not yet available, the two characters are replaced by the text (n/a).

%V only gives me the current value, no datetime info.

Sorry!  Bad copy/paste on my part.

Looking at the docs I see an example at:

Home/Configuration tools/Alert Configurator/Customizing alert messages

<ol class=”ol steps”>
<li id=”tcu1527778985147__step_N10022_N1001F_N1000E_N10001″ class=”li step stepexpand”>Joe opens the Alert Configurator and creates a new thread status alert for the <code class=”ph codeph”>adt_in</code> thread.
<li id=”tcu1527778985147__step_N10033_N1001F_N1000E_N10001″ class=”li step stepexpand”>Joe clicks the Advanced button in the Actions pane. This opens the Custom Alert Message dialog box.
<li id=”tcu1527778985147__step_N10045_N1001F_N1000E_N10001″ class=”li step stepexpand”>Joe sets the delimiter to “,“.
<li id=”tcu1527778985147__step_N10052_N1001F_N1000E_N10001″ class=”li step stepexpand”>Joe selects these fields for the alert message:

<li class=”li”>Process
<li class=”li”>Source
<li class=”li”>Protocol Status
<li class=”li”>Current Time

<li id=”tcu1527778985147__step_N10080_N1001F_N1000E_N10001″ class=”li step stepexpand”>Joe saves and tests the alert. This alert is received:

<pre class=”pre msgblock”>ADT, adt_in, Down, 03/19/2018 16:36:06</pre>

Sorry, every time I copy from the docs it pastes all the HTML code.  Here is what it should read:

1. Joe opens the Alert Configurator and creates a new thread status alert for the adt_in thread.
2. Joe clicks the ADVANCED button in the Actions pane. This opens the Custom Alert Message dialog box.
3. Joe sets the delimiter to “,“.
4. Joe selects these fields for the alert message:
   Process
   Source
   Protocol Status
   Current Time
5. Joe saves and tests the alert. This alert is received:
   ADT, adt_in, Down, 03/19/2018 16:36:06
