Same Alert, Multiple Resources

[ericcase]

Is there a way to reuse alerts? I'd like to have the same alert for all my OS volumes with a variable for the platform name?

I believe what you are looking for is called a Resource Type Alert, and it is described in the documentation here:

http://support.hyperic.com/confluence/display/DOCSHQ27/Resource+Type+Alerts

The Resource Type Alert is a feature that is available only through Enterprise Subscription version of HQ. If you wish to examine the functionality of the feature for fitness for your environment, a limited trial of HQ Enterprise can be obtained through our download pages here:

Hope this helps.
