Variable Modifiers
The variables in the following sections can be modified by appending any of the variable modifiers in the following table.
Variable Modifier -Raw -Previous -Cooked -PreviousCooked Description Displays the raw value for the statistic. For example, if Transmit Bandwidth is set to 10 Mbps, then the raw value would be“10000000”. The cooked value would be “10 Mbps”. Displays the previous value for the statistic before the Alert was triggered Displays the cooked value for the statistic. For example, if Transmit Bandwidth is set to 10 Mbps, then the raw value would be “10000000” and cooked value would be “10 Mbps”. Displays the previous cooked value for the statistic before the Alert was triggered

Status Rollup Mode
In the Orion Web Console, the Status Rollup Mode designates how the availability status of a collection of nodes on the node tree or on a map is displayed in the web console. Two options are available for the case when there are nodes or applications with different status levels in the selected group: • Show Worst Status ensures that the worst status in a group of objects is displayed for the whole group. The following table indicates how the Show Worst Status option operates:

Status Indicators
The following table lists Orion NPM icons with associated status indications, status types, and numerical status identifiers, proceeding from the worst. Note: Status levels of type Ignore are not displayed in any status rollup mode.

Alert Variables and Examples
Orion NPM alert engines can use variables within the messages that are sent when an alert is triggered or reset. These variables are dynamic, and they parse when the alert is triggered or reset. For example, using the basic alert engine, the variable ${InPercentUtil} will parse with the current inbound percent utilization of the interface that is triggering the alert. Notes: • • In some cases, the table name may be required for alert variables, as in ${CustomPollers.Description}. In earlier versions of Orion NPM, variables were referred to as macros.
Buffer Errors
Buffer Error Variable ${BufferNoMemThisHour} ${BufferNoMemToday} ${BufferSmMissThisHour} Description Buffer errors caused by low memory during the current hour Buffer errors caused by low memory during the current day Small buffer misses during this hour

Mixed Status shows Warning ensures that the status of a group displays the worst warning-type state in the group. If there are no warning-type states, but the group contains a mix of up and down states, then a Mixed Availability ( ) warning status is displayed for the whole group. The following table indicates how the Mixed Status shows Warning option operates:

Status Icons and Identifiers
Orion NPM and Orion modules use a number of different icons as status indicators in System Manager and Web Console resources. In the case of alerts and events, further information is provided with the icon within the resource.
Basic Alert Engine Variables
The following variables can be used in alert messages within Orion NPM. Each variable must be enclosed in braces and begin with a dollar sign, like ${NodeID}
